WW1 Mess Tin - Maker ?

Last week at the flea-market picked up this WW1 German Mess Tin for 5 euro. Taller by 3cm than WW2 German Mess Tin and has four soup ration marks as against the laters three, Makers Mark reads - E.T.A.G. -THALE - A/H - 14. Does any member know this maker? the only maker I know from Thale is the helmet manufacturer Eisenhuttenwerk. The four letters could stand for Eisenhuttenwerk Thale Aktien Gesellschaft. I was under the impression the firm used the initials EHW, I'm unsure. Any information would be welcome.
