Author	Topic: Makers mark on Danish water pitcher...help
wylieboy unregistered	posted 01-23-2003 02:58 PM I have a 1940's-50's Danish modern water pitcher, originally from H. Nils. On the bottom, along with the standard marks, (STERLING DENMARK 925 S) is a mark Ax.S. I assume that is the maker. Can anyone please tell me what this mark is? IP: Logged
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 01-24-2003 05:09 PM Hello there, Sorry, but I'm stumped as to who Ax. S might be. There was an Alexander Sturm company in Germany, but I'm not sure if Ax. S would be a proper abbreviation. Unfortunately, it remains difficult to track down modern European silvermakers unless they are very famous and/or prolific. I will keep hunting; let us know if you find out anything in the meantime. I am curious myself! Brent IP: Logged

Only some of the marks have accompanying photos. The address is : www.nobelantik.dk/2solv_maerker.html Sorry, but I'm stumped as to who Ax. S might be.
