KVK Ritterkreuz mit Schwertern

Hello,

it's one of new adds. I was hunting for such piece since 2012 .........

While this pieces haven't appeared here for a few years (as I remember), I can't tell much about it.

I hope that "older" members (as well those who already had one) will tell me something more? Especially the timeline? I would be thankful

The cross is very heavy, die struck, deep cuttings, and VERY shiny with some strong polishing.

Hi Patryk!!!
That is a really nice, and pretty scarce piece, we haven't seen one in a while!!!
A few things about it, point to it being, in my opinion, a more mid production piece, rather than being a really early one, but it is certainly no modern/ late made version!!!
The polishing on the high points is very nice, but the earlier pieces have the pebbled area's in a matt, frosted finish, to contrast with the polished parts.
There are a few newer flaws which have crept in, and raised dots, neither of which are present on the earliest.
But the details are crisp, the overall quality is still high, so it is obviously a well made piece!!!
As for date....that's hard to be exact on, as, compared with the more common RK to the EK, these pieces are much rarer and so we haven't had the chance to see a whole lot of pieces to compare, nor do we have many with a firm date of purchase!
If I had to guess, I would go for a date from approx. later 60's to early 70's.
These don't seem to turn up very often anymore, and I think you did well to grab this one!!!

Hi Patryk,

A very nice piece - one of my favorite awards. I have 2 and both of them don't have the flaws you have as Nigel pointed out. Great pick up.
