<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 88468, member: 44&quot;]I have been watching this thread in hopes someone had an answer to the R-13 mark on the Berndorf Metalware Factory Alexander Schoeller and Co. Needless to say, I haven&#039;t a clue. Following is a link to descriptions of their marks and history. Do note, No. 26, Table 4 mark appears identical with the double headed Austrian mark (coat-of-arms of Austria-Hungary) and the BMF with the MF cojoined. It says this mark is &quot;very rare&quot; with the following:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><b>&quot;c1870-c1875</b></b></p><p><b><b><br /></b></b></p><p><b><b>&quot;An early mark for the BMF Alexander Schoeller items made from pure nickel silver. It consists of the two-headed eagle (coat of arms of Austria-Hungary) and the inscription &quot;BMF&quot; (the letters &quot;M&quot; and &quot;F&quot; are joined). Very rare.</b></b>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Scroll a good 1/2 of the way down the page to Table 4:</p><p><a href="http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloFEBBRA191.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloFEBBRA191.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ascasonline.org/articoloFEBBRA191.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
