Rod Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) The Zahringen Lion I have is unmarked. All of the ones I have seen to date are also unmarked.Mine is the second class (silver) with swords and the oakleaf. I think the center is gold. I am pretty sure it is WW1 vintage. Can someone comment as to the possible maker? I know this is rather vague, but speculations would be very welcome. Where would maker marks appear and from what makers?Many thanks,Rod Edited October 25, 2007 by Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I cannot remember to have ever found any maker marks on a knight's cross IInd class. Maker may be Zimmermann in Pforzheim, but I'm not sure as almost nothing is written in the books I know ... Marks that can be found on Z?hringers are e.g. "Z" for Zuber (or again Zimmermann), oak leaves appear with an "B" for Bertsch(?) and "333" or "585" which is the Gold contect. No more information from me, sorry ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
