Hi,
These are Hanau pseudomarks, the maker's mark is the crowned R. Can you please post a larger image of the marks.
Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the larger pic. There is a chance that it is Reusswig of Hanau.

But, that is only a guess, hopefully someone else can ID it with some accuracy.

OH yes - so that is why the frame did not correspond. I found that confusing at first, but reasoned proberly later mark. And Hanau pseudo did not cross my mind - wonder why?
