Thank you for your help.

Date letters and crown from my 800 mrk EK1

If I could find an unnamed named WW1 WAR medal that would be great.There must be a stock of unnamed medals as a recipient or his/her next of kin is legally able to apply to purchase a replacement.May be some of these have found there way onto the market.

I agree with you, Sadly as the war medal was the only named medal in the group ,there would seem to be no other option. As family medals they are not going to be sold!!

Is there anyone able to rename a WW1 WAR medal, to replace one missing from a family group.

Can anyone identify the maker of this EKII?

I think that a size of 40 mm is rather large for a watch fob, a ladies patriotic pendant is quit possable. Or was it made for a female recipient of the 1 EK , to wear from a bow ? Between the wars would Grand Cross holders have worn their full size cross in evening dress or a miniture ? ( bit of a long shot) The cross has been copied form a convex 1st class ,if the original was 44mm 10 % would have been lost in casting. The ring is about 1.25mm thick and the marks are .5mm, they are some of the smallest I have ever seen and very good quality.

[ 1914 I X 800 1914 1X no mark (silver plated rim) 1914 1X KO 1870 1 X no mark ( ring repaired)

[ 1X KO (flat ) 1x 800 (convex )

My 1870 also has a jeweller type repair on the ring

[ I have had another look at the three marks with an eye glass: SH / .925 / sideward anchor ( V shaped rather than the Birmingham U )

[ The ring in the photo (4 MB camera ) is 12x the true size , I will try and borrow a 8 MB camera, which should allow a 18x clear picture

[attachmentid=31365][ The marks are very small, there is a letter G ? If it is Birmingham, 1931/32

[attachmentid=31275][attachmentid=31276][]I have in my collection the Cross in the attached photos. The cross is convex measuring 40mm across the cross and is solid silver, the back is stamped 925. There are three marks stamped in the top ring. a. S H (?) b. 925 c. a sideward anchor. The centre has been chemical blackened to look like iron. Would you have any idea when the cross was made and for what purpose ?
