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.

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.

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.
