Ken61:

Unless someone produces an image of Nr. 1569 showing the absence of the Crossed Sidearms surmounted by a Crown, I say that it wears the mark as that is how I have it in my notes and also the initials of the tubeset knitter was KS. Of course my notes could be wrong. 1569 is greater than 1332 so I'd say that said mark occurs earlier as the dataset that folks have been working from is say 1/10 of the overall production, being some 4k examples, so sampling is from a very finite set. Lindner & company was probably churning out say a dozen to dozen & 1/2 per month. Nr. 1332 has minimal engraving & would have more than likely not been delayed w/ respect to production.

Cheers,
