Thanks for the info RatBox.
It's definitely a "1." It's the European style. I've travelled in Germany, France and Switzerland. Drove me nuts when I first arrived. Their "7" is crossed when they hand-write it to avoid confusion.
From a blog:
Some unique characteristics of the German handwriting:
- When writing the character “1″ you really emphasize the little flag part at the top, so that the “1″ looks almost like an upside down “V”.
Look here to see both versions: 7 has horizontal stroke preceded by a small, vertical tick-mark; the "10" shows a normal European "1"---like my 168
