Mark is sandblasted so probably dates to after 1960/70s.

Not sure if this helps you really.  It is common to etch the name of a brewer or brand of spirit on glasses and there is a brand of cognac in France called SV.......

Hi. Yes both replys do help. I too belive these are after 1960's. Did think they had a French look to them , so the france cognac May be the answer Thanks so much for your time and words of wisdom.

It looks like a modernised form of the crowned S used by Skruf, and like a similar mark used by Spiegelau.
