[Theoderich]

Annaberg or Altenburg - thats the question (Germany)

What is the correct answer?

A book "Silbermarken aus aller Welt" could not give me the correct Answer.

[wolfgang]

It's Altenburg according to Rosenberg vol. 1
regards wolfgang

[Theoderich]

It's Altenburg according to Rosenberg vol. 1
regards wolfgang

But Rosenberg3 was not sure. He said - it is a guess of Gurlitt - it could be also Annaberg.
He said - Lehfeldt means - Altenburg had 3 towers.

Now - I have two marks - one with the Altenburg (A) Mark - and a Makers Mark CFH or CEH
A second Mark with a G - looks like the Altenburg mark - with a G instead of an A - and nearly the same makers-mark.

it is also the Altenburg mark?
The makersmark is in Rosenberg3 Nr.66 (but there is no name - "a spoon with inscription 1708" )

Hi Theoderich,

The fifth mark looks like Breslau (Wroclaw).

Hope this helps,

Yes Jakjo - you are right. But how about my last Altenburg - Question?
it seems to be the same maker - and the townmarks are similar - only the A und G are different and the crown. Time could be about 1770-90.

Amme lists G for Gotha, Rosenberg A für Altenburg. Same maker in both cities?

[Theoderich]

Amme lists G for Gotha, Rosenberg A für Altenburg. Same maker in both cities?

This is a good Question - and who is the Name of the Maker?
When he had worked?

The answer ist Weißenfels in Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxoni Anhalt).
The Maker is probably Christian Ferdinand Hofmann, (master 1813 in Weißenfels).

Weißenfels was a part of Kursachsen and after the "Wiener Kongress" - it was a part of pruzzia.
In this time the Sword-mark was replaced. The letters in this Mark could bei A;G;K;...
