<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 2744395, member: 59"]The problem with Hanau marks is that they are all "pseudo marks" - designed to look like "known" marks from countries with official marking systems, but in no way controlled. There are also many Hanau makers whose marks are undocumented and unknown. The 2 partial marks we see on this piece were not used exclusively by a single maker. There may be other hiding else (just like Dutch marks they are often spread out on a piece and have to be searched out.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
