English term or phrase: one bar one, or spread H
The Becker "one bar one, or spread H" brand graced my grandfather and grandmother's tombstone, and had as much meaning to us as a family crest.

agree  Francis Lee (X): makes sense to me, at least (where are the natives?)

  -> Avoiding it like the plague, I'd say! Thanks, Francis.
agree  Claudia Krysztofiak: eins-Balken-eins oder breites H :-) mal so als Alternative
4 hrs
  -> Ah! Balken ist gut. 'breit' natürlich auch. Danke, Claudia!
neutral  Teresa Reinhardt: I'd say das Brandzeichen 'H' so that Germans can understand it; I doubt people are familiar with US ways of verbalizing brands// it's a _livestock_ brand; just about everyone here has one (lazy Z, etc.)
5 hrs
  -> Thanks, Teresa, but I wouldn't exactly call this a common way of verbalizing a brand in the US. I've certainly never heard it before.//Yes, of course it is, but "lazy Z" and "one bar one" don't follow the same logic.
