drdanintx Posts: 16 Registered: Feb 2006	posted 02-23-2006 03:22 PM [26-0919] Everyone has been so helpful on the 8 crossed arrows, maybe we can figure out what these are? This pair of scissors has what looks to be a winged horse or griffin mark on them (I'm sorry I haven't got a good picture of it). They are marked "sterling", "5164", "Germany" and "25" no other marks that I can find. Any input you may have would be wonderful! Thanks in advance!! IP: Logged

Does it look as though the handles might be sterling and the blade end made of some other material? I don't have sewing scissors but my grape shears are sterling handled with silver plated steel blades. There is a company called Silberstein that worked in NYCity in the early 1900's. Their symbol was a winged griffon. They made sterling silver cutlery and also imported cutlery. If the word Germany appears on the lower portion of the shears, perhaps only the blades were imported and the scissors made here. IP: Logged
