Hi 'Nando,
thinking outside the "box" I tried to make a german word from the various interpretations of the letters I tried Wahn leaving the last "b" out of the equation . I discovered there is a town called Wahn which is around 38 kms from Solingen Wahn is a few miles from the Rhone River ....a good source of water for an industrial factory ....or even, perhaps, a sword maker You said that many of these blades were from Germany, with Solingen one of the main sword making areas ....just coincidence that wahn is so close by . The "b" is the only 'fly in the ointment' .....yes I said 'b' not BEE . Could that possibly be a factory stamp or a makers mark that is similar to a the letter B All the best David Last edited by katana; 14th August 2013 at 02:33 AM. |
