Sorry I meant whether. Thanks, Mark.

Looks like an original Spain cross to me.

Nice Meybauer Mark.

Are you sure it's a Meybauer? Those sword grips don't look like a Meybauer at all.

Nice Meybauer Mark.

Wouldn’t be first time I misread my owm chart.

Some photos from the site. It does indeed look a typical example of the "unknown maker", sometimes attributed to W&L on the basis of the single example with a correct-appearing L55 stamped into the pin.

A couple of comparisons. In the first, on the left is the badge from the opening post and on the right is a marked Meybauer. In the second, the same cross on the left and the single L55 marked example on the right.

Thank you to all who contributed, Mark.

Yup I jumped the gun on that one. It is a W&L. Or is it?

So helpl me understand the logic here. A cross found with an L55 mark exactly attributible to an EK is a "maybe" its W&L.


But "opinion" on the X-less cross makes it genuine wartime.


Good to know the modern path to originality here. Sort of a self authenticating opinion road.
