Very nice stuff gents!

So I must ask this question - do all of the 1st model globes with black painted brass circular bases have the maker’s information stamped into the base? I know the Eagle M and serial # should be there, but what about the NW mark? Are you aware of any German-made original globes without this mark?

Thanks in advance

Bob

The last question is an interesting one, I look forward to the reply of any subject matter expert!
