Tim Tezer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That mysterious square maker's mark appears once again - this time on a pilot's badge. I know it's been asked before, but I can't recall if anyone ever came up with an answer: do we know who the maker is that used this mark?First pic: Obverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Tezer Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I guess it wouldn't hurt to add a close up of the mark: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 No maker paired with this yet that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferg1 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Also noted on certain Bavarian cliche pilot badges, pierced crown type and not often seen.I owned one once but sent it back to the dealer because it was an electro-formed copy,exactly the same but no square punch mark on pin. This Prussian example is obviously the same maker as the detail on the front of badge is the same, aircraft,landscape etc.. Whether we will ever know the maker is unlikely.Ferg1.

Claudius Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Tim,That badge doesn't just look somewhat like the one I own -I had to run to my collection to make sure that mine was still there! It looks exactly like the one you have. Under the headline "German Jewelers" you will find the thread where I also asked this question. It's to bad there isn't a "Quelle" reference book of german jeweler marks.-Claudius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Tezer Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's too bad there isn't SOME sort of reference book on German court jeweler marks. The old standard in English is "Court Jewelers of the World" by Jeffrey Jacob, and it is in desperate need of an update. I would be happy, however, just to see someone cover German jewelers alone.
