Hello, cannot check my sources right now, but believe this to be a Hanau based company, W. (Werner? Wilhelm?) Schmidt, active in the 1950ies to 1970ies. Best wishes, Bahner

Thanks a lot, Bahner! This is a good hint for me.
Maybe you could have a look at your sources at some time. I would appreciate this.

Greets, Luci

Hello, maker is Willy Schmitt from Hanau, active until 1979 when he sold the company to Jos. Oswald Nf., another maker of Hanau style silverware. Best wishes, Bahner
