Hindenburg Cross Maker mark

[Martin Burr]

Hi there - I know that many are aware of maker mark A&S on HC's and other items - being Assmann & Söhne. Does anyone know definitively who the maker of A sword S may be? Perhaps Alfred Stübbe - Berlin ?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Just a guess here as well. The paper I got with diffrent makers state AS as Alfred Stübbe, Berlin. But it does not mention any sword.... so not more then a guess here.

Thanks for your reply Henke

I have seen a few maker lists that state the initials only. Marks such as ESL and PSL are in circles, JK in triangle and W in a square. Even Wagner & Sohn (W.S) has a swan next to the initials.

So far I have managed to establish over 140 different marks, more than most lists would suggest.
