Hello there,

I have never seen a maker mark like this style, but the cross itself looks good to me.

Original in my opinion. Here is another one to compare: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ghlight=KVK+16

Thanks Hans but it´s the same cross as the one i posted.

[George Stimson]

Has this type of mark ever been observed on any other TR-era award?

[Hans N]

Hi George,

not that i am aware of

Strange mark, I have never seen this kind of mark before

[George Stimson]

Do the stippling (pebbling) characteristics of this cross match those of any other KVK without Swords?

[streptile]

Floch is known to have used precisely this mark on EK1s. I'd compare the cross to a known Floch KVK, if they exist w/oX.

I just did and they match. Known Floch mark, pebbling match... doesn't look good to me.

Have anyone seen any Floch crosses with this pin set up?

I've seen Floch crosses with this mark, and the mark is very distinctive.

As for this pin, I can't quite remember to be honest. Got to check tonight.
