Anschutz and other manufactures across Germany will have replaced the "Eagle over N" Proof with "CIP over N". This change should have taken place during 2014 production.
I do not know if CIP over N will be used with all of the other European manufactures? If it is then this means the CIP over N symbol will not be exclusive to Germany as the Eagle over N had been in the past.
I have read those who guess this replacement may be due to the C.I.P. standardizing proof marks across Europe meaning other countries may also use the CIP over N proof?
My guess is this change to CIP over N could be due to CNC Engraving and the "possible" elimination of Roll Marking any future proof marks. Also the simpler CIP/N may take less engraving time and/or not require machine tool change out that the small winged "Eagle" symbol may need?
Note: Datron is a German Company.
If you look at your Anschutz and it is of a year where I believe engraving of the serial number had taken place you should see the crisp Serial number digits and the crisp DE country code (depends on year). You can also see that some roll marking (on the barrel) in combination with what I believe to be engraving (on the receiver) has taken place.
I do not know the exact year where roll marking SN's and where I believe the change over to engraving SN's took place.

Anschutz had recently (about one week) added a new download to their web site showing the CIP over N proof mark replacing the Eagle over N during 2014 production.This is on the same page as the above "Quote" (see link).

(Note: Anschutz may have better stated this as....."CIP" over the letter "N".)
