1902 from Bruns & Deckel (Christian Bruns, 1853-1912 and Friedrich Deckel,
1871-1948).

Never. "D.R.P." is the abbreviation of "Deutsches Reichs-Patent" from 11.
July 1877 to 1945. Since 12. August 1949 it must be "D.B.P." as for
"Deutsches Bundes-Patent" (Patent of the Federal Republic of Germany).
