Dear All,
Here is a KVKII that has recently acquired from lakeside traders. The case is discussed on this thread in the packets forum http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...37#post2452637. It is an unmarked zinc example despite coming in a Deschler & Sohn case, does it bear the chracteristics of a Deschler KVK ? The wreath surrounding the swastika is not particularly well defined. I believe I have seen the pin and catch hardware on other KVK's in the past but cannot remember from what maker. There is however one issue that concerns me, on the 6'o clock arm there seems to be some swarf / unfinished edge on the tip of left side 6'o clock arm of the cross. Is this identifiable ? I have not seen this poor finishing on a KVK or any other TR award before.
All comments welcome,
Many thanks to all as always.
Gareth
