Thread: Swaty provenance

FWIW, I have two long and one regular. All three have the Franz Swaty, Wahring bei Wien, with Austria in parenthesis. The NIB long one which appears to be the most recent has the logo in letters cut into the end of the stone while the other two are the more familiar (to me anyway) raised letters.

The one with the engraved letters is the only one I've ever with engraved letters. That and the condition leads me to believe that it is of a later time period than the raised letter examples. It is also the one that came with the instructions that mention the father's demise. Might be another indication of more recent manufacture with the (Austria) indicating country of origin.
