Thanks JayCee:
The pic pretty much confirms what I thought, which is that it is an "Outstanding Quality" mark but I don't know that I've seen it there before.
Kind Regards,

So I can be proud of owning a "best" DDR Simson double!
Thank you again for the information.
I should point out that I looked at its innards and everything inside is highly polished and fit and finish are really great.

You sure can and there's nothing short about these examples with the only issue being choke, usually very tight. I think they are a sleeper/great deal in that they are made by pre-WWII craftsmen using mostly pre-WWII components at a post WWII, sort of anti-German, price. I stoned the overhanging scears on one of my examples and it really is a "go to gun" as far as 70mm cartridges. You just need to practice distance and not let the quarry get too close. As a shooter, you just can't beat them. And those quality marks aren't anything to be snubbed.
I really wonder who was applying those Simson trademarks/marks or were they already there?
Kind Regards,
Raimey rse
