Dear Frank,

The maker is "4", Steinhauer & Lück.

Cheers, Frank

Oh...
Frank and/or George ,
Do you have some pointers how I can identify a KVK1 ?
I mean , what maker it is.

Best regards,
Frank Scheepers

The only way I know of is to compare it to an example with a maker's mark.

[Frank Heukemes]

I think so too. Once you are familiar with that type of KVK1, you will always recognize it, be it marked or unmarked. No other maker´s cross looked like this, very unique reverse.

Cheers, Frank

Hello Chris ,
That's... in my opinion due to it being a very late piece.
So less work and materials used on the case.
