Chris Boonzaier Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi, were they the only ones who made these or is it a sea of makers like the EK? Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 They were also made by Glaser (G) and Roesner ®. The Roesner pieces often have distinctive sword hilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The "S" actually stands for silver, as the gold parts aren't real gold but silver gilt here. But as only Scharffenberg used this mark, it is a cross by Scharffenberg however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 As requested, here is a 1st class by Glaser that has the different hilts that appear on some non-Scharffenberg examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
