Hi,
I bought at Kail Winkler's Shop a very nice imperial EK1 cross.
Delicate work, silver, on the back punc "800" and at the based of the needle signature ... reminds me the Assmann's signature "A" ...
Already for a long time I trying to find a model frame of the cross for Assmann and for Linden, in order to distinguish them, yet with weak effects ...

Please, what do you say about this signature cross

Regards
Jarek

Hi Jarek,

If you search for 800 V you'll find other examples. Maker unknown, although the variations have similarities to KAG variations. Sometimes the V looks like a Y - in either case these letters (V / Y) are only found on the underside of the pin in the middle of the pin. Other "under-pin" letter markings are generally found at the hinge end.

Regards
Mike

PS: a nice honest cross with lovely patina!

Hi Mike,
I suspect that this is probably not the "A" signature - did not fit

I sincerely thank You for explanations and comprehensive information, again, I learned something new. The cross is indeed beautiful

Regards
