It's no problem, that no one can realize how rare those crosses are ;-)
Special the 1914! I could

Many Thanks, for your Feedback.
It is nice that someone notice, how rare they are.
I don't want to be arrogant, but I always like feedbacks and if there is no feedback, I'm unlucky :-(

To collect all variants is my hobby and my passion and I'm always happy if some of the collectors are happy that I made such nice catch

It is rare, no doubt. Not as rare as the screwback WWI marked L/54, though, or the unmarked ones. Nice find!

However, allow me a correction. LDO is not early. Early is unmarked because that is a well defined time frame between Sept. 1939 and March 1941. LDO-marked pieces were made between March 1941 and May 1945 (theoretical). So the crosses you showed could be very, very late or earliest March 1941 (theoretical). And that is not taking into consideration the special case of L/54, a company which was not one of the first LDO companies but got the LDO number past that date. It is not (yet) known when.
