<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 146156, member: 50"]I have two forks that I believe I've decided are Austrian, from 1867-72, and .750. At least that's what I'm thinking. I can't really decide on what the name stamped on it says. I haven't even started to look for the crest/coat of arms. (bird wing with an arrow, crown, shield, horseshoe?, cross, axes?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Each fork is good size and heavy measuring about 8 ¾" and weighing about 70 grams. They have the same crest but in different sizes. The name on each is the same but neither is 100% readable and I haven't found anything googling with the spellings I've come up with,W. GLIXELLE, GLIXEILD?. Each has a head in a pentagon shape with a small 4 which I how I got to the date and the fineness. Not 100% sure of anything though.</p><p><br /></p><p>So does anyone have a name for the maker or any corrections to where I am? I imagine the crest is probably a pipe dream.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Thanks<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]39262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39267[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
