Does anyone know the maker?

K.A.G. could be

Karl Altermann

K - Karl
A - Altermann
G - Görlitz or Gerber

the company was sold to Fritz Gerber, Görlitz - after 1945
Gerber moved to Stuttgart.

The company produced a lot of silver goods.

After years - i also could identify the producer of a rare IC, which has been for a long time in my collection.

It (or the needle) was produced by Jetzler & Cie, Schaffhausen, Switzerland since 1822. It had
the same punze as on the shown pic. (with 800)

Here is a link to a thread I started a couple of years ago inquiring if there was any "developments" in K.A.G. identification.

I attach some photos of an example in my collection. The cast core would seem to indicate an "earlier" rather than a "later" cross.

Any new developments?

No new devolpments

No new devolpments

I am risking here a theory that K.A.G might be a second MM for Klein Oberstein, already known as K.O

Possibly an acronym for Klein aktionsgesselschaft after Klein & Quenzer AG
Have seen an EKI double marked this way.

Cheers, Alex
