I realy dont know.

I think the crowned ST mark was used by Wolfgang Stantler. Attached entry in the Wallace Collection catalogue 1962.



Christophe I and II apparently used forms of this other mark - attached entry for another sword from the same catalogue. The mark on your first blade looks very similar. However researching these old marks is quite difficult and not always very definite. Would be interesting if experts on this forum have a view.

I have been digging into this as I have a similar mark on one of my swords.
