Prussia 1914 Iron Cross 1.class, maker LW?

[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello:

I received this Iron Cross 1.class of 1914 included in the military estate of Major Justus Schirmer which shows an unusual marking of LW together with a raised, round spot at each corner. It is of the vaulted/domed type.I remember seeing a post to this LW matter recently but was unable to retrieve the post.

Note: Above the LW marking is the date of bestowal.

Unfortunately the pictures are the best I could come up with.

Any comments would be welcome.
