That's a heck-of-alot easier to say.

Hi Shoot Straight,
It looks like it does mean "Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff" according to what dk1677 found. Translated into English, it simply means "Rheinland-Westfalia Explosives". Rheinland-Westfalia is a state in Germany and is probably where the comany is located. But, RWS is basically the company that served to import or export the Diana-made guns. The never did manufacture them. It looks by the rest of the name it deals largely in other areas though.
