I can tell you who this example was not made by & that is August Wolf of Suhl as this example was made in Zella Sankt Blasii-Mehlis area. And this example dates exactly to the end of WWI so Zella - Mehlis may have been consolidated by the time of the date of proof.

S in a Chevron denotes tube sourcing from the Schilling forge. Indeed, Wilhelm Kelber did use a script WK but not like this one. August Wolf would not have sent his wares to the Z-M proofhouse unless there was a renovation @ the Suhl proof facility, which was about 3 years later. Z-M used a ledger number as the last number in their proof sequence & it notes the total number passed for that month.

What's now?, nothing to q.e.d.

No q.e.d. or quid pro quo, only that WK initials in Suhl does not equal WK initials in Zella-Mehlis. From the images, they are not the same, run them thru an optical correlator.

Also, Wilhelm Kelber's initials of WK seldom if ever have punctuation.
