KVK1 - what period?

[novara]

Hello Gents,

Is this an early St&L?

Thanks.

If you have early, you can divide into early-early / mid-early / late-early ... believe this is mid-early.

I think Mathijs makes a good point.....
Always a little more difficult to accurately date a KVK1, than it is an EK1 I think?
I'm not sure if the S&L KVK1 was among the first 57ers released by S&L, not everything came out at once, they were introduced in batches over a period of time, we have seen updates from Deumer among others that listed the medals and badges that were newly available...
Very few S&L KVK1's have pins earlier than the one shown here, and so 1960+ is probably the earliest for a piece like this.
A nice piece anyway!!!!
