It appears to be an "LV__". Here is one of mine which appears similar to yours. I have seen them in the following configurations, LV 11, LV 18, and this one, an LV 67, I think. . .

Hello,

Many thanks for your reply. I have never heard about such hallmark for WW1 aera. So this iron cross is probably a 1939 made. too bad

Do you know the maker ?
