Troy Tempest Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi Nexos! I was wondering about that as well, does that number actually correspond with a real maker of German awards? Would it be Resch & Sohn by any chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be Resch & Sohn by any chance! Decshler & Son have a the number 1. If that's a 26 on that cross it would be claiming to be B H Mayer.

Troy Tempest Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi Steve, I wan't sure if it was a 25 or a 26, do you know what maker used the number 25? Just to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do but it is one of the longest names I have ever seen. I will post a link of the makers in a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Tempest Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Okay, I take it from Tim that Warren is an honest guy who probably has been taken by the French dealer, so I sent him this reply:Hi Warren, it sounds like you're having a lot of interest in your Resch & Sohn EK mate, I just hope you haven't been burnt by your French dealer. I still can't find anything on a maker called Resch & Sohn, and the makers number on the pin, I can't be sure if it's a 25 or a 26 doesn't correspond to a maker called Resch & Sohn. I checked a listing of makers marks I found through the internet, that use numbers instead of letters or names, and the number 25 is for the maker known as Arbeitsgemeinshaft der Graveur, Gold und Silberschmeide-Innengun from Hanau, and the maker number 26 is for B H Mayer from Pforzheim. Is it possible the French guy is pulling your leg? troyMuch as I thought it was wrong to take $106AU for a HK, as someone who has been burnt myself, I don't want to see him get taken. If he bought this as genuine, he probably paid a lot for it, which is not fair. Out of interest, has anyone heard of the French dealer called medaille-medailles? Stay tuned...

Mike K Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 If you'll look again there isn't enough space between the "?esc" and the "sohn" for "hler &". Could be the reason for the blob of solder. I think "retch & shun" would be more appropriate My Bad - the fake is not marked "DESCHLER & SOHN", it is marked "DESCHLERSOHN" - one word, which is totally incorrect, but it fits perfectly with the fakr on offer to Troy.Here are a couple of cruddy pics of other poorly stamped examples - but if you look closely and "combine" the various partial maker marks, you'll get the picture.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
