Hello Stecci, Yes I would appreciate the scans concerning Bossard. I did not find a copy of the book in the local used bookstores and the closest library with one is about 500km away. Thanks again from Ohio, Jeff .
Hello Stecci This is great information. I have searched here in America for years without luck. I will definately purchase the book...from Amazon or ? Thank you very much again! Jeff in Ohio .
Thanks for the information Joerg and Stecci. Had to find a higher resolution camera to get a better photo. Here is a close up of the makers marks. The one on the right really shows better detail. Hopefully this will helpful in identification. Please click on the image to make it a lot bigger. Thanks...
Sorry Joerg, I should have looked at the mountain closer, it is definately not the Matterhorn! Here is the text from the banner, hopefully it is clear enough to read. My family originated in canton Solothurn with some coming here to Ohio in the 1800s. Thanks for your help! Jeff [img] [img]http://h.i...
Hello , I have a plate made of silver with a Swiss scene of the Matterhorn. No history on it, as I found it at a flea market. It has an inscription in Schwyzdeutsch on a banner between the two men. Thanks for any info on where and when it was made. Jeff [img] [img]http://h.imagehost.org/t/0061/marks...
