Greg, That wouild be Germany's Prym, a company which made very good spokes but gave up the spoke bussiness an focusing now on needles and taylors goods. I think they sold their spoke production to Italy's Alpina company. Regards

List:

I thought I remembered a thread about spoke head stamps, but couldn't find one in the archive (Maybe I used the wrong search words?)

So remind me: What spoke brand was stamped with a three-pointed star (like a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament)? I'm looking at them on an early sixties Frejus I'm building, and wondering if they're likely original.
