Odd Baltic Cross

[CRBeery]

Here is a cross that is in my collection. Definitely two piece construction and it seems fairly standard from the front. The odd thing is the marking on the back - 830S. The internet tells me this is a Norwegian silver marking. With so many companies making these in Germany I can’t imagine that Norway had to make some too. Is this a known variant of does it go in my box of shame?

Thanks in advance!

I have added it to my Freikorps case. I know you are a collector of variants of different awards and I like to do the same. Oddly this is my only one on a ribbon. Thanks for the confirmation!
