"Question: Are all of the marks on the silver- version of the chain, identically placed? Although I have no issues with the silver chain, I would like to know, as it may inform a theory I have which explains the crude silver chain markings."
Craig, The markings don�t exist on any other known period object (besides the �H�hnlein� daggers), or in any period or post war documentation. And they are cast in place not stamped, and I have issues with the chain and small wire connector links as well. The previously posted pictures show what happened - but if you like they can be reposted.
PS: By any chance does this 'theory' for the silver chain sets involve molten silver being poured directly into rubber molds?? FP
