Uffz. Rohleder Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 After a closer look it looks more like "We" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I understand it's quite uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixhs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi, you can find them also in a 1st class. "we" is the only marker which made a stamp into the eyelet. As i began collecting somebody said: "we" means Weckwerth - but i do not know a Jeweller "Weckwerth". so it is still unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We." 1st class crosses are considered to be early war award types, and there were only five makers to supply the GOK with 1st class crosses until 1917: Joh. Wagner & Sohn, Sy & Wagner, J. Godet & Sohn, Gebr. Friedländer and J. H. Werner - all from Berlin. In my eyes, everything fits perfectly with this attribution...
