Nurnberger bow stamp question

[kjs]

My first post here. I'm afraid I don't see how to upload an image. I will just use words.

 

I'm looking at an *Albert Nurnberger* bow said to be from 1907. I see two discrepancies and wonder whether they indicate that this bow isn't the genuine item. First, the stars are not in line with the rest of the stamp. They're both separated from the main part of the stamp, and they're off center. Second, as I understand, the stars were not included in the stamp until 1920 or so. (If anyone can tell me how to upload a picture, I will do so.)

 

Thanks!

The forum will not let you post pictures untill you have made 10 posts.  I guess it is an anti spam function.  You can include a link to Photo Bucket or the like though.  Welcome in any case.  I am sure one of our bow mavins will chime in presently.

According to the Grunke book on German bow makers, the stamp with the stars began to be used around 1920.  A picture of this stamp in the book shows the stars centered vertically with the lettering and spaced the same as the letters, as seen below:
