Request: Do you have proof of this type of 37x94R44 head stamp (LORENZ KARLSRUHE)?

Shown image I took from Mellichamp, but I seriously doubt the existance of this head stamp.

Does anybody have proof of a shell case stamped "LOLRENZ KARLSRUHE" in combination with the shown "6-pointed snow flake"?

Yes, I have this one, Lorenz, snowflake Karlsruhe, snowflake. But it has at least 4 reloading dots and a crown at ten a'clock.
 
Can you show me an image? I still expect some deviation, or else I need to work out some new theory ;-).
 
Thanks! I know this head stamp and the "snow flake" here is different then in Mellichamps drawing. It still makes sense. Beautiful shell case by the way, very old and rare!
