    They are blackish blue and have no maker marks. If I recall it is M marked. Some M2 catches, later on, have no M markings.

    Hesse continued on with Government Contracts all the way through circa 1980. I have a history of several of the company's items.
    I suspect, from the packaging format, this contract is from circa 1950-52.
