A woman on Wooden Boat Forum asked what this symbol means.
No context given and no clues so far from her.
Here it is:
ERSTL_M_EGSTL_M
I does not look like a welding symbol ( the under scores).
IT does not look like a welding process.
It does not look like a filler wire (no numbers).
Old railroad term?
I could be nonsense written by an uninformed person ?

Tried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Tell her to look up Matthias (Swedish guy) on youTube (welding stainless boat railings). Send that question to him and I think he may be able to answer it. That spec looks possibly in German or Deutch.

In God We Trust - All others bring data.
ERSTL_M_EGSTL_M
Without provenance/context, the inquiry is
tantamount to gold-digging [data mining].
Deference to MWalden, the hallmark points
to steel, or a derivative component.
STL is a Northern Germanic abbreviation
for steel: stahl, stalo, staal, stal, and most
infamous - Stalin - aka 'Uncle Joe'.
To all wood-boat welders - can anyone help
to identify this: acronym, abbreviation, or
hall-mark.

On the wooden boat forum The woman that asked finally fessed up where it came from sort of. Was still not completely clear. Some chinese manufacturer or something.
She just would not tell the entire story. I gave up on it. Forget about it.
