The specialist needs more information
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload detailed and focused images of all hallmarks, numbers, and stamps on the metal parts of the weapon? There are inscriptions on the stand which name probably the manufacturer. Thank you for your help.
With kind regards,
George
I am sending an additional picture. On the base are the words "patent applied for"
