hirsca Posted December 31, 2010 Share #55 Posted December 31, 2010 I know that M22 is for N.S. Meyer and the 9 over M in a shield is N.S. Meyer, but is this hallmark N.S. Meyer also? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 7, 2012 Share #56 Posted September 7, 2012 I know that M22 is for N.S. Meyer and the 9 over M in a shield is N.S. Meyer, but is this hallmark N.S. Meyer also? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas. An old question that deserves an answer, if you havn't by now in these past two odd years found the answer it will be yes, it is the post 1964-65 Meyer code number, a peculiarity of Meyer in that they continued the style of the now superseded 1954 code 9M shield for a few years in the mid 60s into the 70s by still putting as I have found out, the 22 over the M, which when one looks at it would read 22M right, the correct codes would be the letter followed by the number, like G23 for Ira Green as an example, why Meyer did this? maybe because the still wanted to use the code shield and found that 22 would not FIT in the narrowed/tapered bottom half of the shield, but would in the broad upper half. You will see however later Meyer made badges that now have the code in the correct sequinace M22 or M-22 with no shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRR Posted May 13, 2013 Share #62 Posted May 13, 2013 Mark, this is the reference section for posting hallmarks.

Tim B Posted December 29, 2013 Share #69 Posted December 29, 2013 I personally think we, as collectors, put too much faith in lists and references and need to step back sometimes. Realizing that many base their thoughts and written articles based on what is current knowledge at that time, we need to remember that not every possible variation has been seen. We can only keep adding to the list as more and more examples come forward. With a company such as N.S.. Meyer, there appear to be several variations in marks, combinations, and placement on items that one has to wonder what rhyme or reason applied. As far as applying actual dates to markings, we need to make sure those items are attributed with a marked card, box, or whatever the item originally came issued in. Contract dates (DSA & DLA numbers) often can isolate a date down to a few months for items that do not have an actual calender date showing. Period examples are one thing, but many items continued to be produced or issued after dates we often think should be the period of manufacture. Just my opinions.

Major Z Posted November 5, 2014 Share #74 Posted November 5, 2014 I collect mainly QM stuff, so based on what I've researched and collected, this type of eagle would be from post-1935 (when they insignia was redesigned to having an eagle with its head up) through maybe early WWII. The wing shapes changed over the years as well. I'm planning on taking some photos of this to post as a reference on this site sometime soon.
