Identification makers mark

[AHorsa]

Hi there,

in the thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=felddegen
there is an image of some "Felddegen" in the Castle of Ambras. Two of them on the left side show a kruzifix makers mark. Does anyone have information about this mark?

Thanks and best regards
Andreas

Staffan Kinman’s ”European Makers of Edged Weapons, Their Marks” (2015) shows the following with crucifix marks:

Hannes Cleles, Solingen c. 1580-1640
Pedro Hernandez, Toledo @ 1610-1630
Johannes Kohl the Elder, Solingen 1580-1620

The Reiterdegen with crucifix mark is illustrated in Anton Dolloczek’s ”Monographie der k.u.k. österr. ung. blanken und Handfeuerwaffen” (1896).

Great! Thank you very much Victrix!

Is there written on the illustratoin if the blade is contributed to one of the named makers (and that the blade is earlier zthan 1679)?

Best regards

I can’t read the writing unfortunately; it’s too faint. Seems this crucifix appears with a Moor’s head? I think the year is fairly definite with the earlier version of Reiterdegen in the book having a fishtail pommel.

Thank you Victrix!
You cited from Staffan Kinman’s book. Is there a flower pot mark described in that book by any chance? The mark was discussed years ago but couldn´t be assigned to a specific maker.

Thanks

I’m currently out on an island in the archipelago without access to the book. Will check in few days time.

In the meantime might we see more of your interesting sword?
