For the London silversmith:
'B. Muller & Son'
'As of 1893, Berthold Muller was registered as a “manufacturer’s agent” based out of 165 Wardour Street, London. His son, Berthold Hermann Muller, partnered with him in 1905, and the father-and-son duo went on to establish the firm “B. Muller and Son.” Around the year 1915, during the upheaval that was World War I, the two subtly and cleverly anglicized their trade name to “Berthold Miller & Son,” presumably to avoid the suspicions of an English public that—given the current social and political climate—grew increasingly disenchanted of all things German.'
The collar is vacant & suitable for engraving.
