Post it in the correct forum of WA which is Imperial Militaria and you will get all the info you want. I do know that the 800 refers to the silver content of the award and that most awards are not marked 800

[Van]

Yep, post in the imperial forum, But, more WWI awards were marked with the 800 mark than the III Reich awards were...if I remember correctly...which is difficult sometimes... from what I see, has a very good chance...

"800" is indeed the silver content. You can check it against known
makers in the Imperial database thread.

I'm surprised Dietrich hasn't moved this down to Imperial.....

[Dietrich Maerz]

And all is well in the world as the balance is restored.

The core of this example is generic - used by quite a few manufacturers.

Screwback hardware indicates probable 20s manufacture to me.

Nice cross Matthew. Just an observation but, I find the style of incuse 800 punch very interesting as it is remarkably similar to the one used on the 800 4 RK.

[Don D.]

Now this is an interesting development.
