Does anyone know the maker of these gouges?

[Jared Withers]

There is no name stamped on them, but there is a stamp of a frame saw and the blade width in millimeters. Can someone identify the maker? Any insights as to if they are good quality?

They are the middle 5 in the photo.

I believe they are made by one of the German makers, like Hirsh. Probably quite good steel.

The trademark is for the Spannsaege (=frame saw) line of tools from the Busch company in Remscheid- Germany. Most of the German chisel/saw makers are from that town in the Ruhr industrial region near Duesseldorf. I'm not sure if they are still produced under that name. Several of the tool makers in Remscheid merged or are using the same facilities.

The chisel look somewhat discolored but should be fine/ the steel should be pretty good.
