    I have never seen one like that.

    Can you post a good closeup picture of the full front and back
    of the EK. Maybe there are some other clues we can see to determine
    the maker.

      Gentlemen, I have to announce that a friend of mine found the solution to my little hallmark-problem on the back of my vaulted IC 1914.

      The unknown makers mark turned out to be an austrian import hallmark on silver items from 1902-1922.
      The little letter A on the left side of the hallmark (looks like an standing arrow) indicates that the item was imported and rehallmarked (repunched) in Vienna.

      this hallmark is very uncommon for orders and decoration from WW1.

      My friend thinks, that the IC must be an very early one from before 1915. at this early stage of the war the authorities maybe insisted on import hallmarks, later on came a swell of foreign (mostly german) decorations to austria and knowbody cared anymore for import hallmarks.

      Does anybody know when vaulted IC came into vogue?

      regards
      Haynau

      Greg anyway you asked for pics

            Vaulted crosses were in vogue during WW1, but were frowned on big time in WW2.
