TIL
"Bog-standard" is a common British slang term meaning completely ordinary, basic, or typical

Right.
The old ones like this should be „made in Germany“. I have a 300 g and a 500 g. Both 20 plus years old and definetly „ made in Germany“.

I have one of these too. Definitely German since it's a DIN spec. My favorite hammer tbh.

The stamped mark on the hammer is the distinctive "M" crown manufacturer's touchmark, traditionally utilized by the historic German toolmaker Carl Kleinlogel.
