Very olde manufacturer logo ?

[Lee Roder]

I know this is a long shot but maybe there's a history buff reading this forum who might recognize the crossed pistol logo on this antique. Came from a naval officer's inkwell. Too early to be a registered trademark in the U.S. (or Great Britain) ...



Anybody?

I don't know, but the first thing I thought of was that the pistols looked like a Mannlicher Self-loading Pistol Model 1903. But I don't believe that they were ever adopted by the Austro-Hungarian army, or by any armed forces anywhere in Europe. They also kind of remind me of the Roth-Steyr Model of 1907, which was adopted for the Austro-Hungarian cavalry in 1908.

I think you may be better off posting this at an inkwell specific site. Such as: The Society of Inkwell Collectors.
Good luck.

I'm glad that someone was able to point you in the right direction. However, this isn't really an on-topic discussion for THR.
