    Maker marked «HUW» - Erste Osterreichisch-Ungarische Metallknopfe- und Metallwaren-Fabrik Heinrich Ulbricht's Witwe, Wien XIII/2.

    Well that's pretty interesting!

    A maker mark I don't recall hearing about before let alone seeing - thanks for sharing!

    Is the maker definite or only speculative based on the letters?

    How does an Austrian maker work in with the Zimmermann relationship though?

    I can't make out the first letter. Is it definitely a H and could an alternate maker be a Wagner variation?

    Regards

    That is a beautiful cross, these are my favorite. Funny this is the second one today that I've seen, the other was not marked.

    The mark is very interesting, never seen it before but it might through some light on these early models at last.

    The Zimmerman theory IMHO only holds true for those marked with L/52 or the post 1920 pieces possibly. Mike, I know that some of these were found in the fire hoard but I've not seen anything pre this type to convince me that Zimmermann made these or any other war time pieces, have you seen any marked Imperial Zimms in your travels?

    Interesting links Tom. I remember seeing the HUW listed on another hallmark site but this is the first time I've seen it on an EK. This might have solved the long mystery. I'm holding my breath haha
