HOTCHKISS & SCHREUDER ?

[Alain]

Hello,
Can someone tell me if this is the hallmark for Hotchkiss & Schreuder?
I can still see the "H" and "S", but the middle part is rubbed away over the years.
Thank you,
Alain

Maybe. But all I see is what looks like a "G". Can you get a better angle of the hallmark?

Hi Alain,
I suspect it is European and probably German made for export. I'll leave it in this category for awhile to get further opinions.

Hi Kozy,
I took another pic. ,differend angle.
Marks are a fat "H" and "S".

Thanks for the photo. I'm wondering why the circles around the H and S look so crude. Is that my imagination? Do you see any evidence of a diamond shape between the circles?

I looked at it with a juwelers mag. glas.
I just can see the beginning of the diamond, pointing toward the "S".
It would be virtualy impossible to catsh that with my camera, but it is there!
Greetings,
Alain
