Hi Allseasons Thanks for your reply. good luck with other marks, Better closer images may help. Also not sure if this is relevant ,If you look at your image I can see a large area around your mark that seems a different colour ,to the outside area , other members may know if this means something or ...

Facing same way ,collar and front of his clothing ,his long curly hair. Are all similar to image on box. Great work ,many thanks ,always great to ident...

Thanks Jay,Ag ,for your suggestions . A bit tricky as we do not know how accurate the image on the box is. I still feel , that Maximilian 111 may be who he is supposed to be (at this stage) Any other opinions would be great. I have added an image from a 1760 silver thaler coin ,with his image,has so...

I have had another look at mark in daylight. Looks letters K.C or H.C ,not petal as thought before. Seems very difficult finding gold makers marks online. Does anyone have any books with this info. (as I have said before ,it is amazing how many different books we need for research) I have noticed on...

Hi Ag
Many thanks.
I feel makers mark is like my drawing ,an O and flower type petal head.
I would not think there would be many makers with the letter O.

Regards Guido.

Hello Ag

Many thanks for quick reply and answer. Is the other mark makers mark? And will it be easy to find maker?

A bit of a surprise felt French being amboyna (thuya) timber.

Hello Members

I have had a suggestion ,it may be Maximilian 111 Joseph ,Elector of Barvaria ,(1727-1777) As I said box made in older style.

I have noticed his portrait on coins. It may be him.

Hello Huszas 76
Do you have any more info on Leo Wagner ? from your book?
In other countries ,you will see my post ,re my latest box may be by Wagner.

Regards Guido.

Hello Ag Many thanks for the info,Is there much info on Leo Wagner? working period,it says 1910-24. As I said before does no Hoopoe bird mark mean the box is pre 1922 (you did say 1920) I agree the one online ,Vienna card box with coat of arms (owner says dates around 1897) is by the same maker as m...

Hello Members
Not many Austrian makers with letters LW, Looks like Leo Wangner, maybe a chance,if one of his earlier pieces before Hoopoe mark 1922.
does it mean no hoopoe mark ,box pre 1922?
