I thought I recognised that smith’s mark from somewhere. Staffan Kinman’s excellent book “European Makers of Edged Weapons, their Marks “ (2015) suggests the mark is of the Stantler family.
The star/askerisk mark you refer to is probably an Edelweiss, an alpine flower extremely popular in Switzerland and Bavaria. The halberd is probably from there also. |

Halberd spotted in Landeszeughaus Graz with familiar mark. Or at least very similar…

Thanks for this!
Interesting that the mark seems to incorporate elements from both marks on the piece with me. |
