Hi Steve I am aware about the claim that it is German made, however, like you said there is not convincing enough evidence only statement from a known seller, who I respect. There is only information about some rare 1915 Soldier Crosses and 1941 Model They were made by the Firm Zimmermann Because this mark is evident on Austrian made Decorations, i am more inclined to thing that it could be some inspection mark Look the Austrian section The thread is about red Cross Decorations I left some comments

Dear members on other forum a question was asked regarding a a mark "F" on Austrian decoration I was aware that the same mark appeared on the 4th Class 1st Grade on the 1915-1916 Model of the Order for Bravery It is located on the reverse site of one of the swords Different possibilities were discussed I am asking the members to participate with the possible explanation what is the meaning of this mark

I agree Thanks

Badge of secret agent Kingdom of Bulgaria

Very nice Thanks for listing them

This is the reverse of the Bravery Order picture taken from the internet You can see the "F" mark clearly on the one of the swords I will list mine tomorrow Although the seller claims to be made in Germany Those crosses were made in Austria Only 1941 Model were known to be made in Germany

Interesting that "F" mark is used on the back of Bulgarian Order a rare model 1915-1916 The Order was made in Austria It is made by silvered brass I will post the reverse with the mark later on

Very Nice Thanks Gem

Hi I looked this option as well However i came across information that this mark was for to the city was Lwow ?! which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
