#5 on Rudolf Wachtler & Lange Mittweida EK!

[schinkel2]

Just been photographing my collection and noticed the number 5 on the front of the small ring on my #100 Rudolf Wachtler & Lange Mittweida cross!
Is this common or have I found something unusual?
It’s not on any of my other crosses but it is on another unmarked cross of mine that is from the same maker.

Anybody?

I don't see it on the 2 that I have

Ive got a mint cross that the guys on here told me is a MM 100 but it is the same as the one ive got that is marked 100 on the ring, the date is low ect.
And they both have this 5!

Opps Ive made a mistake, its not on the one stamped 100, My bad.

[schinkel2]

The minty one you post IS a "100" ....

I see the "5".

Could it be a quality control mark?
Or perhaps some kind of batch number?
