Thanks guys for your warm words
Just a question: as you mentioned the cross is marked "L/12 & 800"
Is there any differnce to the mm "800 & L/12" ?
Are these crosses with my type mm arer then the others ?
Or is it just the way it is ?

According to Maerz the 800 L/12 seems to be more common than the L/12 800 marked cross, the latter is possibly a slightly later produced version within the same year (1941) and was possibly somewhat later produced within the same year (1944), but for most part the production time line (1941-1944) of the two L/12 versions seems to have overlapped. It is unclear (at least to me) why, what is the same cross, had two different markings.
