I only have these: a Karl Troop Cross and a Bronze Bravery medal (Karl II type), both on "bravery" ribbon.

It is Karl Troop Cross (Karl-Truppenkreuz) and Bronz bravery medal (emperor Karl I. type) - (Bronzene Tapferkeitsmedaille Kaiser Karl Ausgabe), both on ribbon for Karl Troop Cross (not "bravery" ribbon) ..
There can be Manufacturers mark on the edge of the Cross...

It's a long service cross for enlisted men, for 6 years of service, awarded in the 1890-1913 period. The ribbon was black and yellow.

dragos03: Cross for 6. years service (Militärdienstzeichen für Unteroffiziere u. Mannschaften III. Klasse für 6 Jahre) was established after reorganization in year 1911, so it could not be awarded in years you wrote..

Hallo Iver,

why would a cross such as a Karl Truppen Kreuz

which is fabricated in iron (early issue pieces)

or zink (late war issue pieces) carry a hallmark?

Hall marks are traditionally used on Gold or Silver objects.
