I seek the help of identification on the attached photo. At first I believed it to be an antler proof mark. After several hours of research with no success, I seek the forums help. I no longer am sure it is an antler. My wife thinks it is a humming bird flying thru a lock. That leaves a wide margin for your interpretation. It is on an HSc slide.
Thank you in advance for your input.

Jim,
The most likely explanation for this marking in my opinion: A German dealer marking, applied by the dealer who sold it commercially.

I have to agree. After ten hours of computer searching and talking to many people, nothing was found that linked it to a state or manufacture or inspector or importer. I think you hit it on the head with that likely possibility. I sure did learn allot about proof marks from all over the world. Thank you for your research.
