    My latest DKiG

    The hardest part of buying a great looking piece, is the waiting between payment & delivery . Well ... I waited a week for this one, and it was worth the wait . Yet another nice & early S&L DKiG made its way to my home .

      Clear shot of the red enamal ring. It also shows us a big flaw on the wreath ... strange .

            The mini is made in seperate parts, with the wreath rivited to the back. Also, the S&L circle is there.

              And then the case itself, which yielded a few surprises ..... A more modern piece, but nicely "beaten up" .

                    And on the back of the inlay, I found this name " M. Lutz ". I assume this would be the veteran who was awarded this.
                    You guys have any idea where I can do some research on this ?

                        Very nice set, mathijs
                        What there stands is : DK Gold
                        And the name could also be M. Latz
                        Here´s a site with all German cross awards winners http://www.ww2awards.com/award/614/L
                        There are two "Latz" and a few "Lutz", but no surname with an "M"
                        an here´s a site where you can "translate" the "Sütterlinschrift"

And then the case with , hopefully, the vets name, i hope you can find out who it belonged to, that would make it even more special!! Great catchbeerchug.gif -Nigel

                            Hey Mathijs,

                            Another NICE DKiG for your collection! We will need to see an updated group shot sometime soon!

                            Interesting about the "damage" to the wreath. It looks like perhaps there was material in die that made this indentation as the "dent" was there prior to finish being applied. Now it has it's own unique "fingerprint."

                            To have what we can presume to be the vets handwriting in the case is very exciting! It certainly looks like the handwriting of a senior citizen. The early pieces that were vet issued and handled makes them SO MUCH MORE SPECIAL!!!

                            Could the first initial be a "W" perhaps rather than an "M"?

                              Very Nice DK

                              That flaw you mention is the first thing I look at if I see a S&L DK.
                              It the worst developed wich I have seen and If my memory serves me well, I think this is your earliest DK.

                              I will post my worst developed "flaw" on a S&L wich came in a halbetui.

                              IMO that the name has been added to try to give it some provenance. It sadly happens A LOT.
                              One of the reasons I think this, is that the name has been added after the case has been taken apart, wich I never encountered on cases that were never in collectors hands.
