Who is this Scandinavian hovedvandsaeg maker

Post by SilverK »

Hi, I'm trying to identify the maker of this hovedvandsaeg, but so far I've been unsuccessful, nor am I certain whether it's Danish or Norwegian. Even though the mark (EI, I think) is stamped three times, it hasn't helped me much! Hopefully someone on the forum is able to identify its maker and origin.

Many thanks in advance.

I believe it is Danish and made in the town of Haderslev by Elbing Oluf Johanssen (EI). He was active around 1830-1840. He is know to have made hovedvandsaeg- That's all I can help you with.

My mistake. I have always reference the forum when I use its material and forgot to do so in this case. Goldstein, I suggest you take a closer look at the seller details....
