    JW,
    Take a look at that guy's (completed listings) This is the fourth one
    that he has listed sense Oct 21. ---and all are identical

    From what I can tell, everything he has sold is fake.

    Guys I have a convex WW1 EK1 Maker marked Y , and 800 for silver .

    Is Y still a unknown maker ?
    Can you post a picture, I do not recall ever seeing an authentic
    "Y" marked 1914 1st class.

    Greg is right, mini is a fake. Every week he offers one for sale. Check the rim, you´ll see the casting seam.
    Unimarc, your cross is A-type, not B-type. Great cross for 212 euros...

    Hi Miro,

    Greg corrected me also on the type :-)
    On the other hand I am quite happy it is an A type, as far as I understand the awarded type :-?

    Ps you followed the auction as well, since you are aware of the final price ?

    Australia,
    Thanks for the pictures. That is a good original cross.

    About the mark----"Y" is not a recognized maker.
    I spent the last hour doing some searching and found
    two others posted on another forum and no one sees
    to have a clue about the "Y" mark. Most people seem
    to think that the marks on the underside of the pin are
    a quality control stamp used by the cross maker and not
    actually a "makers mark".

    These "Y" marked crosses must be hard to find as I did
    not remember ever seeing one and I found only 2 while
    doing a quick search.

    Do you mind if I share your photos on another forum?
    Perhaps they will still some more discussion.

    No problems greg , share away .

    I purchased this one from the US from a relative of a veteran , they were told that it was a bringback .
    But believe the piece not the story as they say!

    I am tempted to give this one a light cleaning

    Greg already answered you. A-type is award type, although not every A-type is awarded cross, as these A-types were made until 1914. According to slightly poorer quality (which reflected in the low price) I would say yours is from jubilee era at best (same seller offered oakleaves in the same time). For comparison, yesterday was sold one A-type which is - IMO - later than yours. Price was 403 euros although guy shipped only to Germany.

    But don´t worry, 212 euros is very good price for such A-type cross. In the same time, there was an auction for same type with repaired jumpring and lots of rust on both sides - I gave up watching at 205 euros...

    PS: I follow all interesting auctions

    I agree--the earlier the cross, the sharper the details.
