graham Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Does anyone know what this hallmark is. It is on the bar of a Franz Joseph Silver Military Merit Medal. I think I can make out an 'A' at the end of the hallmark: - There is a 'JZ' (Josef Zimbler) hallmark on the other side on the bar: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian1962 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Looks like a "Windhundkopf"-Punze for silver. Regards Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Christian, Well spotted, thanks. Yes I can now make out the greyhound head with a '3' before it and the 'A' at the end. Regards, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 ...and the second, "JZ" mark, is that of the well-known maker Josef Zimbler. Most of the Wiederholungsspangen were made by Zimbler, but of white metal. Finding a silver one, is definitely a "plus". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Lang Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hello Igor, the maker could well be a Romanian jeweller, unless there would also be present austrian silver marks. All the best, Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenft Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have some unknown marks on my Austrian Merit Cross. The makers mark and hallmark are on the suspension ring and not on the loop. The Makers mark looks like either W V (H?)(A?)(R?) or perhaps it's upside down? The silver content is the A 1 with the winged figure to its right. Which I read here is the imported silver mark. Really need some help identifying this makers mark pals! Been bugging me for a few years now =D I've uploaded some super close ups with different lighting and negative film treatment. Let me know if you need more angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 the mark is "HUW", for Heinrich Ulbrichs Witwe; a mark actually not often encountered. All the best, Enzo (E.L.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Enzo (E.L.) Thank you so much for this! I've been literally searching for two years for this maker's ID. I see now that they also produced beautiful Merit Crosses from 1914-1918. Do you think my cross was produced as a private purchase or part of a limited Military Merit Cross production? I am assuming it was produced during the war. Again thanks for closing a mystery case for me =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdC26 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Looks like a Austrian 750 silver mark to me, but the shape seems a bit weird. It may help if you post a pic showing the entire object. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Or maybe the 900 hallmark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Graham is right, that’s the one I had in mind. I think it looks a bit strange, though and I don’t recognize the ‘“fm” mark, so as said, it would be good if we could see the whole item.

BlackcowboyBS Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Great thread, I would like to add the hallmarks on an iron crown 3rd class knight from Rothe. Both hall marks could be found in the ring as well on the flags ribbon behind the heads of the eagle. I believe that this piece was awarded in 1887.

demir Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hello, can you tell me what these signs are. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) These are the Vienna "A" marks for precious metal; then, the trefoil mark of messrs. "Brüder Schneider", Vienna, and their signature mark. A full, obverse/reverse picture of the piece would be most welcome...

demir Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks. So asterisk is for non-precious metals and "A"s are precious metals. I thought that it is for "Wien" like in the "Flugel A". The question was for a BSW made fancy Turkish War Medal. Here are the pictures. It was sold by emedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
