KCs ?

[Doug Kerley]

Hi; A collector came up with a KC with a nice looking long ribbon with the ties. Looks like it was never worn. Just a bit of frosting. Swaz. even with the hight of the rim. But it not maker marked. I find it hard to belive that these came unmarked. Only the silver number on both the cross and ribbon clip. Could that possiblly be right?

He also has a KC of the War Service cross with swords also with the long ribbon that looks great with the ties that looks unworn. It has the silver mark and number "1".

I really like the age look of the ribbons. The collector that has them is knowledgeable. He tells me that they came from a vets grouping. I have no idea of value. He is five hours away. I'm more of an Imperial guy myself. This is way outside me area and way above my experience. Is there anything I should especially look for? What's a reasonable price for the pair if original? Doug

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's a genuine one.

RK ribbon w/ the narrow EK ribbon ties are always a huge red flag for me...I have never seen one in that configuration that was real and they are typically attached to equally questionable crosses...we would need to se pics I'm afraid.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had 3 direct vet buys and they had no ribbon or one about 5" or so and eyelets or buttons inside collar.

I like the color of these and the guy but really. There's got to be 50 times more fakes out there.

Years ago I got a hard card stock display board about .5 meter square with 40-50 medals and badges on it with little lables. Must of been on display at a recruiters office or military base. The KC and KC WSC w/swords was front and center.

Got one without ribbon as an EK2 for $15 years ago. Doug

Hello,

What's his name..........

If he has both RK des EK and RK des KvK then he knows what he has........

FAKES.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probibally is.
I guess this sounds crazy to write something off like this, but better safe than sorry and without forum consent or photos to review I am going to tell you to stay away.
