Inkwell mark question

Hi wise friends,
Need some help to see if anyone recognizes a mark on a lovely art nouveau style inkwell. I am guessing the metal may be pewter (if anyone knows differently, please feel free to speak up on that as well!) but I can't seem to make out the first letter of the maker mark.


Any advice would be appreciated as a run through GIS with the mark brought me nothing useful. A shot of the front as well on the very off chance that someone might recognize the maker that way! Thanks in advance.

 

Here's an unmarked example ...

your example seems so much finer....

 

can't grab it.....

 

Could be Kronheimer & Oldenbusch ...

 

That looks about as close as it gets - thank you very much!!

 

I'd say mine was probably a cheaper American made knockoff of the gorgeous German one

 

Yours is lovely, too -- but yes, it was probably a knockoff of the German one.
