Dear Mart, dear Qrt.S! What a pity! You were not "in tune" at the end of my article. The inscription on a cigarette case by Karl Werlin could lead to a nice conclusion: "What holds us together is the power of tones." https://i.postimg.cc/Df62Mdfd/Werlin-Karl-04b.jpg https://i.pos...

Dear members, sorry, I've just noticed, that four fotos in my article do not longer exist. I am a newcomer in the forum and and a greenhorn what concerns the computer-world. Here are the missing fotos: https://i.postimg.cc/6TGv37j0/IMG-8643.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/QBYZRdc9/VS-1.jpg https://i.postim...

Thank you very much AG 2012,
this is a valid answer!

Taweez/Ta'wiz, worn by some Muslims/non-Muslims, is a medallion containing a piece of paper with verses from the Koran or other Islamic prayers.
Some Muslims wear it around their necks to protect themselves from harm.

Thank you very much!

Dear forum-members, now I have tried to make a better foto. https://i.postimg.cc/dV3yp03f/IMG-8655a.jpg Please excuse me! I can see the punch: KHK Mart, this is the name, you have mentioned. The hallmark on your photo is convincing. Ort.S, you did your best, you have answered to my specification „KИ...

Thank you Mart, can you please specify your sources. I am a newcomer in the forum. May I say, that I do not agree with the name, you mentioned. Sorry! punch a) K И K There is no latin „H“ to see, only the cyrillic letter „И“. Please use „dobble click“ to see my pictures bigger. Qrt.S wrote: KODGOYAN...

Thanks Qrt.S, the Cyrillic script is indeed not easy to read. I photographed the punches again. a) KИK and "PL No. 3177" are better to see. https://i.postimg.cc/ykVPybVc/IMG-8643.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VJvW300N/IMG-8648.jpg b) https://i.postimg.cc/vgF7gPq1/IMG-8651.jpg Regards Silverstone

Your statement agrees with my opinion.

Hi, this captain's spoon bears the name of the merchant-house "Mitchell & CO." I have never seen a spoon labeled "Mitchell & Co." in the forum. The firm was listed on "LLoyd's Register of shipping 1881", p. XXII https://i.postimg.cc/f3f5RtdX/IMG-8633.jpg https:/...

Hi AG2012,

belt: diameter 4 cm = 1,57 in - 14 grams
cuff: diameter 4,5 cm = 1,73 in - 43 grams

Both have a monogram.

Thank you Oel for your kind „words of welcome“.
