Alex K Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I've just added this Commander class type II to my growing collection, could any of the experts decipher to markings? I've made them as clear as I can, any help appreciated regards Alex K edit, just for comparison with my type I, never realise until side by side, it's considerably smaller Edited August 24, 2019 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol I Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 A nice Weiss example. The markings are "589-36", "HW" and the national mark for silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi, thanks for theexplanation, "HW" would be for Hermann Weiss, the national mark for silver is logical, what would the 589-36 signify? regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol I Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The jeweller's first name was Heinrich and 589-36 was some sort of serial/production number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi, Thanks for the additional details, yes you're right, I got the name wrong, I shouldn't have really as its in gold lettering on the inner satin lining of the case!!, must pay more attention regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
