The D.R.G.M. stamp stands for Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster, meaning that the design or function of an item was officially registered inside all of the Germanstates and not only locally registered as it was the case before the introduction of centralized registration. D.R.G.M. registered products were protected either for their way of intended use or design only and this did not include patent protection.
