Imperial EK 1 screwback

[unimarc]

Hi guys,

Picked this EK up at a gun fair, this weekend :-)
It is very well made, and has a nice patina IMO .
It is stamped 800 on the not and has a mirrored R stamped at the end of the screw !
I found a similar one in my EK book, but it was with a K stamp !

Any suggestions on maker ??

It is believed that any with this marking on the back is made or sold by "deutscher offiziers verein"

Thanks Ralph,

The ones described have some similaryties, but are somewhat different still. the ones pictured has treaded tubes on the cross, not a screw !
Could it maybe tell something about the time of manufacture ?? WW2 crosses seems to have tubes not screws !?

That's a really nice cross Marc
and a variation that I still don't have for myself.
