Yes You are right - it is Fulda.

Sorry - my Mark was from Eutin - it could be Eutin (near by Kiel)
and was from Hans Heinrich Geertz

Hello! The marks on my side are known.

The silver-collector Georg Schönfeld found them all and drew in the book "Das Buch der Eutiner Goldschmiede"
(This books to buy no more is, but it is the background of my homepage)

Other marks are not known, also not the mark of Antony Behrens.

This is the townmark of the German town Herrnhut.

I think it is Herrnhut.
