The body is embossed with the inscription "PETROLIN – Injektor" along with the designation "Gesetzlich geschützte Wortmarke – Patente – In den meisten Kulturstaaten" and on the button "Petrolin Brennstoffe Bitterfeld", which refers to a German manufacturer and brand from the first half of the 20th century.
