Sure - will do it monday (dont have pic here at home).  Here is the site I found the value on - the pic is not my actual picture - but the sea horses I have are exactly the same!

Mart, I hear what you are saying, but unfortunately when it comes to settling an estate - value does matter!  Unless you have been through it - can become VERY nit-picky!  Thus I am trying to find values on some items.  I came across a pair of sea horses that I just thought was glass, and found out they are worth $6,000.00 - so you never know!  LOL

Cool - thanks!  So basically this has no value since it cannot be proven via the mark?

It was on a Community Ebay post - not sure if this will work, but all I did was a google search on"  Germany Dresden cross swords, clicked on Images and it was one of the first ones at the top.

Ok about the pics - not sure either.

I did read through the link you sent - mine have nothing resembling letters at the bottom of the sword handles.   I actually found the exact marking doing a google search, this may be clearer - this is my mark!

Thanks - yes is does look similar.  Couple questions - why are my enlarged photos sideways - is it the way I uploaded - did I do something wrong?

Not sure I understand what you mean by cross swords m b - from what I can tell - there is no lettering in/on the swords.

Thanks!

As I mentioned in my New Member post, I have many items from the estate of my 91 year old uncle.  Here it the first.

I have tried searching on Dresden Germany Trademarks, found a site that listed the trademarks, but was unable to find a trademark the matched what is on the bottom of the doll.  I know my uncle served in the Navy in WWII and was in Germany, so I can only assume he purchased it there in the mid 40's (my best guess)

Any information provided will be appreciated.  Looking possible background on the manufacturer and value!

Thanks in advance!!!!
