Hi HF,

Well there do seem to exist a bit of variants between 800 to 938. Most of the time there is in the silver also a marking next to it concerning the firm who manufactured them for example JG (J Godet at Berlin) or for the same firm JG & S or J. Godet. Other known are Rothe and as far as I remember Wagner at Berlin.
There also would exist probably jeweler initials such as Ak and ET. But never have seen them.
There is also the question on the pattern that can be seen in the silver part of the ribbon, which looks more like the modern version then the old one.
Concerning the double ring for the crown device, there do exist a few examples with originals, but the question is if the ring is original in the case.

Best from Johan
