    Hi,

    Can anyone help identify the makers mark "ACh" and the symbol to the right of the lettering?

    Cheers

    Hello 4thskorpion,

    Judging from the 'woman's head' silver hallmark, this item is likely of pre-war vintage. As such it may be better to have your question moved to the appropriate forum. Is this a badge?

    Regards,
    Tony

    I am glad that you can see a 'woman's head' in the mark! To me it looks like something that would be part of an Rorschach inkblot test

    The mark's are on the reverse of an NSZ-ZJ (Narodowe Siły Zbrojne -Związek Jaszczurczy) ryngraf that I have. I forgot to add the main image with the hallmark...

    The hallmark is shown upside down in your picture, so it’s not quite obvious on initial glance that there’s a headscarfed woman hiding there.

    Your ryngraf is pre-war made with the NSZ jaszczurka shield added later. I’ll check to see if I can ID the maker marks. Off the cuff it’s not a familiar maker.

    As these are pre-WW2 marks I’ll move the thread over where you may have a better likelihood of getting an ID.

    A very nice item by the way!

    Best,
    Tony

    Thanks Tony, your line drawing for reference certainly helps
    The ryngraf belonged to a NSZ-ZJ soldier from Białystok region if that helps with identification of the mark?

    I believe the "W" in the silver mark indicates Warsaw as the place of manufacture, which was the busiest silversmith centre by far in pre-war Poland. I checked my very limited references for an ID for “ACh” but have come up dry. I will keep an eye out for you though.

    Cheers Tony!
    I did find confirmation of 'W' as being Warsaw
    'ACh' remains elusive though.
