      Thanks Erkn

      Do you by chance have any pictures left. E-mail me and I will send pictures of mine. Seems they are one of the rarer variants of the S@L series. Also any known history would be of interest. Seems I have encounted 2 so far that were direct vet bringbacks. After examining the "dent row" on the 3 oclock arm under magnification. It looks as though their manufacture paralells or slightly precedes the 935/4 crosses. Maybe they went ahead and finished off their 800 silver sheets, left over from production before the die went bad. Then resuming full blown production with 935 silver sheets till the end of the war. Just a theory...................Jimmy

        800 4

        Hi Jimmy,

        Here are scans of 2 photos I have of the clean one. I no longer have this one, only the photos. Sorry quality is below par.

            Erick,

            you were very kind to provide me with some pictures of another 800-4 from your collection. The cross you just showed: Is the marking also both in incuse?

              Hi Dietrich,

              This one was marked exactly the same as the beat up one I sent you photos of last year. Both the 800 mark & the 4 being an incuse relief.

                    800/4

                    Erkn......Thanks for the pictures. Do you by chance remember how the jump rings were marked (800 vs 935). Mine is marked 935 in standard numeral style. In other words NOT incuse relief.....Best Jimmy

                      The clean one was marked 800 on the loop. Not an incuse type as on the cross. The other unmarked.

                      Can you post an image of the 800 4 mark on the reverse of yours?
