The WMF stamp was the mark used by the German company Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik which was set up in Geislingen, Germany in 1853, this company developed their own method for plating and produced excellent results as the coating used was twice as thick as others, this method was patented and is still being used today and remains exclusive to WMF.
