hi,

i was wondering if someone may be able to help me indetify the maker of this stag.im pretty sure it's swedish,but have not been able to find out anything about the maker. I think the initials are A.I or possibly A.L but i hope you can see it clearly enough in the photos,the mark is very very small and it's difficult to get a perfect shot of it.

many thanks in advance!!

Hi,
The AI is an Austrian import mark, not the maker. I suspect the other marks are Hanau pseudomarks from Germany.
For Austrian mark see viewtopic.php?t=7350
For Hanau see viewtopic.php?t=6740 which will link you to an article on the subject.

Regards, Tom
