Wow. Those big ones are amazing. I hate to say it but yours look like the cheap knockoff version sold to the general public:rolleyes:

I'm going to stop whining about not finding anything in the thrift shops now that I've found the equivalent of almost 1Kg of silver for $10....

That's odd. You seem to have a very early "almost" Meissen monogram with "a lot later" crossed swords. Might be a good idea to show detailed pics...
