Hello

A very nice cross indeed. Thanks for showing it

[Scott]

Wow - must be something in the soil, 'cause they grow in Southwest Illinois too

[Scott]

Back side...

[Scott]

Ring...There's a maker mark too, but I can't tell what it is.

[Bill Garvy]

Yours is a very nice cross, Scott. I suspect the maker mark may be "CD 800".

In the meantime, upon closer inspection/magnification, I think the cross I initially posted is a "900". Eureka!

Nice crosses!

I don't think Scott's cross is a CD though Bill.

Here are a couple of my 800's,on the the left a CD800 and on the right a KM 800
