dpast32 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Hello Gents, I'm attempting to determine the German Manufacturer of two Medals within two of my WW1 Medal Groups. They both are the 'WW1 Honor Cross' ( Hindenburg Cross ) & both examples are manufacturer marked. One is stamped on the Reverse; 'St. & L', which I assume indicates manufacture by 'Steiner & Luck', if I assumed correctly ? The other is stamped on its Reverse; 'O & B' ? This particular marking I'm unfamiliar with, & if anyone has an idea as to the manufacturer, I would appreciate hearing from them. THANK YOU !! Best, Dom P. / 'dpast32'
91-old-inf-reg Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Hi Dom, The unknown manufacturer is “Ochs & Bonn” - Hanau
dpast32 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) THANK YOU, I really appreciate it !! I did check in a couple of my pub.'s before here, but none of them included any alphabetical lists, only the Number & RZM types. I've been hesitant to buy any more collecting books, as I'm seriously thinking about starting to part with an significant portion of my items, plus I honestly don't think I can even fit anymore books in house !! Best, Dom P. ADDENDUM: Ooops, I just realized I have incorrectly noted the manufacturer's name in my initial Post. The Firm utilizing the abbreviated marking of, 'St. & L' is in actuality, 'STEINHAUER & LÜCK, LÜDENSCHEID', Germany. OK, I just figured I would clear up my incorrect reference. Best, Dom P.
