Nice crosses all

Marc,
Your MFH is in very nice shape. I have seen a lot of these with
pretty substantial paint lose. I still waiting to get a +M+ of my own.
They don't come along very often.

Jeff,
Congrats on your first.
That is a good looking Wilm. with a nice clean makers mark.
My own example is almost unreadable.

Hi everyone. I want to show you these EKS of mine: one 1st class marked Fr (Friedlander Berlin) and one 2nd class with envelope, probably a private purchase. This cross is marked LW on the ring: does someone of you know which maker is? Thanks

Envelope doesn´t mean private purchase. Vice versa, I would say.
Privately purchased cross with silver frames would be marked for silver content (800, 925, etc). And this one looks to have silver frames.

I read somewhere what LW means, but of course I forgot. But I recalled - Marc and Ralph - that MFH is Max Fleck & Sohne Hamburg.

Thanks for sharing them with us.
No one knows yet who the maker of the LW series crosses was.

I just recalled. Louis Werner. According to Emedals. They were offering LW cross with such description. I can´t find this auction now, but there indeed was a jeweler Louis Werner in Berlin (apart from J. H. Werner).

Silberbecher, 1920er Jahre, Punze 800, Juwelier Louis Werner f. Robert Dieckerhoff. Ca.115 gr.

For Unimarc: no numbers following LW marking on the ring......

Sorry, I was mistaking, and noticed my error :-/ I thought for a moment it was LV. But ofcause LW does not have any numbers following it !
LW, Louis Werner, as Miro says :-)
Miro, where did you find out MFH is Max Fleck und Sohne, Hamburg ?

PS, LW Louis Werner arcording to the book (the iron cross) by Frank Wernitz !
