Sorry, this probably belongs on the Imperial Forum, but was hoping more EK collectors would see this here.
Anyone know when iron crosses began to be marked KO on the ring? I know this is a common mark on issue 1914's, but I have a very nicely made 1870 EK2 with 25 Year oakleaves with the KO on the ring. The cross has the typical KO shape to the arms, but has a very nicely detailed and aged 1870 core. I imagine it's a replacement piece made sometime after 1895.
Anyone else have a theory or have you seen KO 1870's?
