regarding the 2 marks at either end. Pay no attension to this. That does not mean either old or new. In my opinnion its to good to be true. i.e. historisismus and around 120 to 150 years old.

I understand why Johan Wahlbom comes up. He is mentioned as master 1651-57 and as 1884-1689 as hawing workshop in Købnagergade. However his marh has a different cartush. Not the sides they are without the (at the sides) Citymark of Viborg Wiborg 16hundreds was also WB - but not the cartush as the on...
