Not as good as a NEUSILBER Juncker that a certain Gent has (I'm sorry that it didn't work out).........But I bought from Detlev-Niemann today, a S/L 800-marked KC awarded to Generalmajor Botho von Frantzius. KIA in Russia in 1942. His KC comes with the original ribbon for wear and various paperwork.
He was with Infanterie Regiment 176 when he was killed.

I hope you will take some nice photos and show us, as it turnes up!
A very classy example of a highly desirable piece. Congratulations on a super buy.
I know everyone has their own personal opinion and taste when it comes to these, but I still feel that the good, original S&Ls, like the one shown here, are the best RKs around. As I say, just my opinion.
The recipient of the KC that Dave has kindly shown, is Generalmajor Botho von Frantzius, of Infanterie Regiment 176.
Knights Cross awarded November 5, 1941 while an OBERST in Russia.
Killed in action March 14, 1942 near Nevel (north-west Russia).
Posthumously promoted to Generalmajor.
Generalmajor von Frantzius was 44 years old.
He joined the German Army (Dragoons) in 1916, and finished the Great War as a Leutnant. Became an Instructor with a Cavalry School in 1937, and quickly rose up through Officer ranks, until his death.
The KC comes with a copy photograph, and photocopies of his awards.
