Guest Rick Research Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Do you ever find these with the owner's name engraved? I have never seen one that was not plain... which I always thought was odd since so many Crosses--official State AWARDS after all--were personalized. (Germans gave each other swords as presents alllllll the time....)
Iver Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Engraved name never, but I have seen an mirror-engraved monogram, so it could be used as a seal... a friend is selling it.. :D Edited May 11, 2009 by Iver
Mervyn Mitton Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Iver - would it be possible to see a picture of each side of the blade ? This is an interesting period of history.
Iver Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Mervyn Mitton: Here are some photos, i hope U see on them something..
Mervyn Mitton Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 The blade is in nice condition. Do you recognise the maker's mark ?
Iver Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Mervyn Mitton: Unfortunatly, no luck with identification of maker..
