Great looking early RK.....very nice!!!
The ribbon looks like its been altered for "easy" wear, do you know who the cross belonged to???
Also, could you please show some closeups of the oaks, i'm sure we would all like to have a good look at those too!!!
Cogratulations on a fine RK!!!!!!!!

Oaks are not - IMO - orginal S&L 1957 standard early issue, but you still have a 1st pattern S&L "C" frame RK.

Should it come with an early 1957 RK case, I think to be priced around 650-750 €.
But even without, and if you can offer solid provenance, you can easily get 500-600 Euro these days for just RK as displayed above.

Its difficult to put a price tag on these ... dealer price vary very much against prices paid amongst collectors these days.
