Gents:
The following is engraved on German lyra-glockenspiel which I believe dates to the Imperial period, Weimar at the latest:
J.R.H. 13 No 93 (Note the "No" is engraved with the "o" written almost as a superscript and double underlined.
I did a quick on-line search for Imperial Infanterie Regiment 13 and found an Imperial unit Infanterie Regiment 13 (1st Westphalian) Herwarth von Bittenfeld. Perhaps this explains the "H" although I don't see any subordinate units numbered 93. Additionally, I did not think the Germans used No. as an abbreviation for "number," but rather "Nr" ?
Any help appreciated. I'm stumped!
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Shawn
