The 1939 War Merit cross

[Chris N.]

Is there supposed to be a manufacturers mark on this cross somewhere? Because I cant find one on mine.

Thanks,
Chris

hehe took me a while but never worry Ive found the manufacturers sign on the top of the cross inside of the loop hole. But its to small to make out what it says.

Hello GmanII

Not all pieces will be maker marked, even some of the well known maker's did not mark thier pieces all the time. If it is very small, and you are unable to make it out, I would recommend getting your hands on a 6 - 10x jewellers loop. I have even had good experience with magnifying glasses fitted with a light in them.

Hi Dez

I was also wondering when I got my KVK it came w/o a ribbon. Thus I am looking for one. Do you know of anyone on here that has one, and is selling, perhaps?

Paul,
You could try this thread:

Look at post #5 by Richard Gordon and you will see a list of manufacturers of Third Reich medals (Iron cross makers in bold).

Do EK2 Manufacturers = KVK2 Manufacturers?

Thanks Adrian,

So am I to uderstand that the same makers of the EK are the same for the KVK2?

If so the thread you sent me to is perfect.

Please confirm.

Thanks in advance.

Oh and the maker marks on the medals are the same too right?

Thanks in advance.

Some EK makers made KVKs but not all. The thread gives you most, if not all manufacturers of decorations so all the KVK makers are there somewhere!
