Might note that the engraving reads 'Godfather' rather than 'Grandfather'...

Thanks for the reply Ubaranda, unfortunately I don't think that's the correct manufacture, it does have the German national mark of the crescent moon and the crown and there is an another mark "SR" at the end.

Hi kevalie,
I think Ubaranda is right. The unicorn is - without any doubt - the mark of Gebrüder Kühn. SR or SK at the end might be a retailer.
