[QUOTE="epacheco, post: 72658, member: 890"]So from what I understand, this was made specifically for Christian Klein and NOT by Christian Klein, and that the bottom letters would indicate the actual maker. As for the griffin mark, I think you're right, since it has been mentioned above that it might be linked to Prussia. Interesting about the zigzag liines. Those seemed out of place at first... As for the meaning or purpose of this piece, could this be some kind of memorial gift? The text contains the "widow" and "forget me not" lines, so that's what hints at it.[/QUOTE]
