S84/98 information needed

Bontgen & Sabin marked blade , no year on spline , and Solingeh mostly under cross guard. Did they not put the years on these or got missed , ]433390[/ATTACH]

Might be possible its under the cross guard the way the ricasso is stamped.

Yes part of it is definitely under the cross guard, so really my question should be , was this a re used blade with no date also , I wouldn't think they would stamp the moto before it was put together, or I'm I over thinking

The makers mark was stamped pre-assembly. The date could be under the cross guard. I have seen a few that were not dated though.

Nothing strange here, is blank deliverer by the Boentgen and Sabin, Solingen, finisher was some unknown maker in area of Berlin as G inspector proofed on pommel, on blade spine is C for Solingen. By some years there was not acceptance date stamped, could be 1915/16. So when stamped on blade the maker stamp they stamped too low and by finisher then it was covered with crosspiece by assembly, similar pieces by J.A.Henckels exist too.

Thanks very much for the information. Mike
