Second try - makers mark
Dear All,
I cleaned the mark of one of my swords a bit more (identified here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=lionhilt) and some more details on the upper side came out. Maybe that helps to identify the mark this time. Looking forward to your comments. Best regards Andreas |

Hi,
if you turn the pictures upside down it seem to be a vase/flower pot with three flower in it. There is a simmilar marking in "Wallace Collection Catalogue" Number A 681. There it is a small sword from Solingen about 1640. It is also told, that the flower pot mark also exists on a rapier in the Metropolitan Museum and on a sword in musee lármee Paris. all the best Dirk |

And that date perfectly matches what Jasper, Jim McD. and others were saying was the period of the sword based on the design. Excellent catch, Dirk! Andi, you are a lucky gent to own this hanger!!!
