<p>[QUOTE="LinMag, post: 234951, member: 4619"]Sorry, this is a very late comment to your post. Just discovered this site and stumbled upon your post. A lot of German manufacturers used 900, 935 or 950 silver at this time - especially Meyle & Mayer, Martin Mayer, Theodor Fahrner to name a few. The crown and crescent are not always present - never used by Theodor Fahrner or Meyle Mayer. Martin Mayer has two types of hallmarks the wheel of the city of Mainz with a star is one hallmark, the other is M (for Martin) wheel + star and M (for Mayer) as well as crown and moon. The hallmark certainly appears to be the wheel and star. If you browse the internet or ebay and type in Martin Mayer, Theodor Fahrner or Meyle & Mayer you will find many examples. I live in Germany and own quite a few pieces from all the afore mentioned makers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
