<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9732070, member: 17332&quot;]This is the Idar (Germany) cameo I posted about a while back. Now that I have it in hand, it is signed C. Hahn. It is exquisite in person. The carving is very delicate, with lots of detail. There are a few nibbles on the edge of the shield, but they are only visible under magnification. I am so glad I was able to purchase it, even though it was way above my usual limit. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found some basic info about Carl Hahn, but nothing significant. However, this summer I am traveling to Idar and will see what info I can find. There are still stone carvers there, one of the more famous being Richard Hahn. The Hahn family has many branches and are involved in many aspects of gems.
