Hi!

Can somebody tell me which maker has the mark "14 R.V. Pforzheim"?
Thanks and happy new year everyone!

This mark is usualy found on Hindenburg crosses. R.V signifies the word Reichsverband, which I believe is meant to mean something like state producer and Pforzheim is the town in which is was located. There are many different numbers that can be found on these maker marks.

Thanks Martin!
Like you've said: "you're never too old to learn something new"

And somebody has any idea which maker in Pforzheim was marked with 14?

The individual makers for the RV numbered items are not known. They may have been the same maker in Pforzheim or smaller companies sub-contracted for the work. Much is still to be found out.

I've seen someone compiling a list of maker marks for these but I don't think anyone has ever tried to identify the individual makers because there are so many.
