WAF has just posted a link to a German forum in which the member BassD explains why the sign of "??" is the company logo of E.Ferd. Wiedmann/Frankfurt. I have also posted this is the maker mark thread. John

Very interesting. Nice to see this one pinned down at last.

The "dots" are for the letters in the first name by the way. John

Another mystery solved! This is great to know as I have a GAB and a KM Minesweeper with this mark. Hopefully eventually more and more tidbits of info will come out and solve some other mysteries as well as more and more items from attics etc. come out to shed light on this relatively hard to find area of expertise (thanks mainly to all the burning of documents etc. during and after the war in Germany).

Cheers,

Pat
