Thoughts on this DKIG marked 20/Zimmerman light weight version?
How does it look to you guys, thanks.

my opinion...

I don´t like this one.

The color of the sunburst looks odd
The wear on the reverse looks odd
The date appears to be weak (but that might be the pic)

I would pass on this one, but then again, it's just my opinion.
(Being far from an expert)

Looks like a good zimmerman to me. The color of the back plate is odd, but the wreath, catch, pin, hinge and 20 all look good for a zimmerman.

This is the cross Peter Vl is selling right? I don't see what would be wrong with it

What happened to it? Doesn´t look like normal wear.

Looks like a good one to me. Looks as if the black anodizing has worn off of the starburst.

Check out Page 209 of Gordon's book Documented proof that the starbursts were sometimes polished ....

Yes, from what can see, looks good.

Hi Guys,



The color is off from wear or storage,my vote is it looks good

Hello all,

Looks good to me, and is it possible that this was assembled from different parts after the war? Just a thought. Thanks.

Thanks for the replys guys, in regards to the back plate I was thinking maybe also from wear it has changed colour, I dont know about the black in the starbursts maybe they were polished by the original owner, does anyone have any other examples they could show.

Hi Slayer,

The badge looks like the finish was polished off rather than worn, as the lack of finish is uniform on the obverse,still a good looking example, if you can live without the finish and want a worn example. The price should be pretty good I imagine as well.

Best,
Joe
