    This just arrived, an 800 "V" stamped Iron Cross, 1st Class, 1914. The "V" is stamped on the reverse of the pin. . .

    that's a very interesting proof mark! are you sure it isn't a V with a line under it?

    may i see a closer pic of the mark from a different angle?

    thanks in advance! :cheers:

    if i recall correctly we did an interesting thread on another forum about 5 or 6 years ago pertaining to these marks on the underside of EK1 pins. one can encounter symbols, numbers, and letters. i don't know if a common concensus was ever reached concerning the significance of these markings.

    I think it is a "V" as well, not an "A" after looking at it with a 30X magnifier. . .

    Hi,Good afternoon,Bill! Please show you my part of collections "WW1 Ek".

    Eiserneskreuz of the lower right of the photograph is written as "A" behind a pin.  

    Similarly I see 800 carved seals. I love such a sculpture. It is a German special sculpture.
