Help Needed to ID Maker

[lhaschke]

I need some assistance in identifying the maker of these knives, or blades. There is a Dianakopf -- or Diana's head mark -- on each of the pieces that appears to date the flatware from 1867-1872 and Austria/Hungary as the place of origin; there is also a "BU" mark that may indicate they were made in Budapest?

The mark on the knife blade reads: H. Moser NCHF Solingen:

Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

I can't help on the marks, but I cropped and enlarged your picture of them.

Hi Pat,

I found your model in a book on silver in the time of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy. That flatware is made in the city Pest. BU I could not find yet.
