[Stephen Stout]

What period are these oak leaves and swords, early or late?

Hi,
These are not 57 they are a copy of wartime oaks.You can tell that by the detail on the back of the swords.They should be plain.
Cheers

Hello

I'm afraid that I agree with Franco. The only oaks and swords that I have seen accepted and described as being '57 versions' have plain reverses to swords. Therefore I could only describe these as being a post war reproduction - and yes, as the oaks and oaks and swords were not featured as part of the 1957 laws technically all oaks etc made after May 1945 are reproductions, but it is accepted that to accompany the new 57 versions of the RK that these were re-made, and certain styles are accepted as being the '57 versions'.
