Commentary
First published in Wieser 1891: 322.
Picture in Wieser 1891: 322 (drawing), MLR (photo).
Embossed on the rim like BZ-8.1, but with a different tool. The chevron between the two straight strokes is shorter than the other one; the sequence has been read uś, uni (Wieser) and niu (Whatmough). Probably non-script – maybe a manufacturer's mark (compare BZ-7)?.
