Hi All and nice meeting you.

First, I'm new to this forum so please excuse any possible errors in posting.
After many searches, I decided to ask for your valuable support to get any hints on the possible age, location and/or manufacturer using these markings.

Any info is useful, many thanks in advance.

Hi Alfonso and welcome to the Forum,


You are correct with Germany. The marks are two of the many maker marks of the Neresheimer company of Hanau. Please see mark numbers;

S490
S513
