You have the most common one, there is one with CD800 all in one line, CD800 on the pin, and I have seen another pin variation.
        Interesting info Steve ... thank,s

        Ive been lucky having come across a few nice examples of 1914 EK1 this year ,inc two nice variants, I will post some pics over the next few days and show some of what I have found .

            These marks are seen on a few different EKs and at least one other badge as seen here. I posted one of my latest ones and it started a small discussion. Here is the link.

              Thank you Tony ... Wow so the Square Punch isnt just to be found on EK then .


              Steve , what an excellent selection of these EK you have there , Im quiet envious ... thanks again for posting another informative link . Reading Micha,s post from this link I see these Crosses can also be found with a 800 stamp , how the intriuge deepens and deepens .

                Oh guys ... I forgot to ask you if this mark on the pin of the CD 800 is indicative of anything ? .

                          800 Mark , the soft strike on the first digit makes it appear 900 .

                            Really nice cross, Simon. I believe that plate is meant to be sewn to the inside of the tunic with thread through the small holes. Then the cross would be slotted through the tunic and the large holes and screwed into place. In this fashion the same cross could be both very secure, and also movable (multiple plates could be attached to multiple tunics).
                            Best regards,
                            Streptile

                                Great crosses. Love the CD crown & date style. I have an EK2 with the square punch on the ring that has a CD core.

                                Has anyone ever seen the square punch mark on any other crosses other than CDs' ?
