I picked up this collection of Imperial and TR German items that were handed down through the German family that migrated to Southern California.  

 

Note that there is a Faithful Service Cross  with a War Merit Cross ribbon. I'm assuming someone over the decades took a loose ribbon and attached it to a ribbonless cross:

Great grouping! could you please post a close-up of the WW I EK´s back. Thanks for sharing these.

 

The pin is marked 800  - the catch was replaced:  I found a photo of san identical piece showing what the original catch looked like.

Thanks very much for the additional pics! Did you find any manufacturer´s mark?

 

Nothing. I have found others online just like this: no maker's mark and a non-tapered, barely-pointed pin with the 800 silver mark.
