Craig, I concure on the markings. Thse are not right. The very thought that Mr H would say nock up a set of chains, and a Liason officer would go to Hell on a hand cart, is beyond believe. The maker of the chain would applie the mark on compleation. This is standard practice.
You yourself rely on markings, I quote your description,"Textbook set, consisting of a 935/4 marked Knights Cross and a 900/21 marked set of Oakleaves and Swords. The cross is by Steinhauer & Luck, and is considered a B-Type (see Dietrich Maerz book, page 122-125)." If the marks have have no relavance, why were they ridgily applied to these pieces? Also why are they not cat into the pieces?
