Hi Guys: Just started collecting blades in 2008. I think I've been able to pick up some decent ones thanks to a special friend named JR. Thanks Jr. Hope you like these, as I tried to use new pic's to display. Hope you enjoy

Hi Danny & Bill; nice examples of maker mark #60

maker mark ring

rear

Hi Joel; As requested mm# 27 double marked ring same side with cross hatch frame brading at swaz

Hi Joel; An intresting piece and well made. I beleive there were at least 2 frames by this mfg. I have one that appears to have cross hatching @ the 2 & 4 o:clock position inner corner at the swaz.

Hi Danny; I like the cross as it doesn't have the sloppy core paint job that got on the beading. You will find the search gets harder, the results scarcer, and the purchase price increases. Good luck with your search.

Motorhead Love that marked L/58

Hi Jan Nice acquision L/10 hard to find in this condition

Thanks Guys: Bill believe me I love the ones with pitina, and some of the shine is in the lighting when I photograph the cross. Always your comments and opinions are appreciated.

Hi All Thanks for your kind response. I just recently came across another # 22 in stunning condition probably an early mfg. piece if you compare to the first one posted with the sloppy paint job. Enjoy Micha.

Thanks Guys For the response. My personal feelings are that the cross looks good ,but the only frame that I could see to come close for comparision was mm #137 or #138 can't remember. Someone on another forum indicated that Godet & Zimmernann were very close with their design, however I don't know, nor was he positive since #20 have not been seen at least by him or I. I guess we'll have to wait until one surfaces whenever that is. Currently working on 2 more unseen acquisitions. I will keep you posted.
