Title: KAF help needed please to identify this mark
Post by: suea on August 01, 2010, 06:42:55 AM
HI to everyone. I am totally stuck on this mark, which I am told is Scandinavian. I cannot find any refrence to it anywhere, so am obviously looking in all the wrong places. It is a lovely square vase, heavy for size and 175mm high. The mark is gold and appears to be inside the glass.  Is anyone able to help me here? Many thanks in advance

The mark may have been added for an athletics club or federation, you could search for clubs beginning with K but in which country?

Nice prize to have won! Better than some shiny bit of tin. :-X

This doesn't look Scandi to me - Italian maybe?

Well..... the Kuwait Athletics Federation is on the list but the logos do not seem to match.

Yes, you'd think the A was for Athletic with the discus thrower !  :D

Then again, the acronym doesn't necessarily have to be in English...  :usd:

The word Athletic is from the Greek Athleticus so is likely to be very similar in most Western languages   ;)
