Got this funny hallmark I just can't seem to find info on. Any help is appreciated. Looks like a coat of arms. WWI 1st class and vaulted is the cross it's on. just above the bottom hook for the clasp

It's not rusted it's some tarnish to the Silver on the reverse.

Here's a better shot. Kinda looks like the Austria eagles?? could this be a Austrian manufactured one?

Doughboy,

I'm not a hundred percent sure but it looks like the stamp for the firm of
(C.F.) Rothe & Neffe - Hofjuwelier to the House
of Hapsburg. If I'm wrong I hope someone will quickly let us know..?

Best!

Bill

try looking on page 450 of the niemann book on the back of the spanish cross. this is the same eagle. now does anyone know this mark? it's the same on my iron cross. any one ever seen this on a iron cross?

It is to Paul Meybauer, Berlin. Yes it has been observed on Ek's.
