Hi
Lot of brass with imperial crown are on old light cases
I think that Polte was Imperial manufacture controler and it's the official stamp

Doctor has given the correct answer.

THIS pattern of Crown was reservated to Polte-Magdeburg Controlers .
Karlsruhe had an other Pattern.

Rheinmetall had a crown too.
 
Hi
AWS and PatronenFabrik were always controled by Polte Crown 9 on old patterns
 
The crown used on PatronenFabrik Karlsruhe cases was ever stamped with Ke under the crown
