There was some slight differences with the roll markings on the different serving pieces so more than one die was used by Wellner. If you look at the 11" warming plate for example, you will see the same pattern roll marking on all the pieces including the one in the Griffith book. The cross bar on the H is lower than those on the larger trays. It seems that certain roll marks are unique to the type and size of the serving pieces. All the pieces on both Wittmann and Brent Smiths sites are original. Don't forget that these pieces were not made for us collectors! The fake pieces that I have observed had very crude engraving lacking detail.
One last point. If you look at other pieces shown in the Griffith book you will see the spread eagle roll mark on other serving pieces pictured.
