Glenn R Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Lovely piece Joel. Such a high quality screw back pattern and so nicely finished. Congratulations! Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 these are excellent, quality-made crosses, and now you need the double screwback version to keep it company! and then all the different hallmark variants, lol! on this particular cross the screwpost has been replaced at some point. very nice to see it still has the retaining disc intact, as many crosses i've encountered often have this element missing, for some odd reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Very nice... am i mistaken in thinking I have seen these with the German officers association name on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buellmeister Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Eric, I have previously stated, this is my first screw back and certainly not the last.. Tis a slippery slope for sure with these. I certainly will keep a look out for the other variants. Thank you! Regards, Joel Chris, Thank you! From what I've seen, there has been no reference to DOV stamping in particular. I'm only dipping my toe in uncharted waters...Anyone know of any others with different stamps or markings? I'm intrigued. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Joel, Here are a couple different DOV screw nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I read that the DOV had 50 sales points/branches, many in occupied countires, where officers could buy anything from awards to uniforms to map cases... just some info of interest.....

AND you could also invest with them...here is an early document that shows a modest return of 4% interest and here is their company logo from the 20s/30s...i've never noticed it before so i thought i'd share it. it's a rather unique design Edited February 22, 2021 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Nice cross indeed, certainly bears a strong resemblance to Meybauer pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
