I have often wondered and tried to decipher this symbol, as opposed to the seen makers marks that initialize their buckles ie; " GB " Gustav Brehmer "A" Assman and others.. The earlier Richard Sieper and Sohns used diamonds not unlike this... But of course with a different motif...G

Maybe it's something personal??? We hardly know the truth.

I agree... We may never know for sure... Still... A nice and unmistakable marking seldom seen IMO... I have not collected Heer buckle's for awhile unless a piece like yours would have crossed my path so to speak.
Congrats again... !! G

This is very interesting so I will try to do some research. It seems like Wilhelm Binder did silverware and then used what they called the "Floreat" trademark:
Here is the symol with the word Floreat, so it seems like the symbol is some kind of "F"




Scroll down and read, you maybe understand a little bit more then me about the symbol

And here is something, but I cant understand what the word "Floreat" means....
Mikrolisk - The horological trade mark index

EDIT: Floreat = Flourish in Latin... and it looks like Wilhelm liked flowers?
