My L/12 marked screwback has the earlier/original 2-piece and larger OD screwback setting as per AWS examples. Note that imo the screwback disc on Stefan's cross is a replacement, as evidenced by the larger OD patina on the reverse.

I really want a WWI EKII and this EKI really makes a TR version attractive. Very nice exampleComment

Hi Stefan,
The following does not generally work for mint examples, but when I look at worn screwbacks I like to see a change in patina at the edge of the screwdisk, like a shadow. Yours has that "shadow", but not at the edge of the screwdisc. I can not comment on Trevor's example as the disc is not in place.
I realise that devices could have been changed by the original veteran or any subsequent owner. I guess if the screw fits, wear it.
I'm attaching the reverse of my example, which has a more Imperial-like set-up. I'm not in a position to provide a pic with the disc off at the moment. The core is the same as the 2 already shown (more of a matt finish though).
Regards
MikeRegards

" Douglas,

" - quote Stefan :
Well:
... it was a maker mark variant you were still missing .
... it was a disk variant you were still missing .
... it was the vaulting that matched mine .
or
... I saw it on your site maybe ?

Stefan's first cross is the same type as mine, exactly. Same disc, same frame and core, same mark in the same place. Mike, here it is with the disc on.
...And another with the two-part disc:Best regards,

The LDO would not have been happy with that at all ... having Imperial core crosses being sold - like 're-activating the 1813 award . The LDO marking was mandatory ... though I would think some may have been sold unmarked .

I have seen these SB's marked 800.Does that mean that it is post WW1 or a private purchase piece post WW1.

Right -- any unmarked Juncker 1914 screwbacks always have the pre-LDO two-piece fittings:

Hi Dennis,Originally posted by Dennis J View Post
I don't think this exact Juncker type is ever stamped 800. But similar ones by other makers are, and those are all private purchase types made any time 1914 -- 1945 I would say. Here's the closest you'll find to this type with silver content. Maker AWS, same core design, different frame, same hardware, marked 925 for sterling:
