Cased kvk1 without swords Good Or Bad?

[MedalMike]

Just found this Kvk with a ' to good to be true ' price..I have a bad feeling of this one, especially about the needle.. But maybe it can be a good one so i'm posting him!

This is another one, i deleted the cross that ive posted before cause the seller wont give me any better pictures..

What do you think of this mint one..?


Thank you very much!!

Hello

I've seen this style of pin before in a thread, but unfortunately I can't remember if it was deemed good or bad, and I honestly don't know one way or the other. I've just had a quick search through some threads on KVKs but haven't found it. Have a search yourself, I'm sure there's a thread with one pretty well the same.

Sorry I can't help beyond this. Hopefully a couple of the people who really know these will chime in.

Regards
David

Interesting cross...looks possible, but I believe the photos provided are too small.
If the price is TGTBT, I'd probably pass. Unless it's $2.00.

Tough one. Doesn't look like the more known fakes. It does have some features like mm4 but then again. Not much help I'm afraid.

Thanks..!

Hello

In my opinion, based on the new photos just posted at the start of this thread, this new KVK is ok. The case I would like to see better photos of before saying one way or the other, but from what I can see it looks ok. However, I'm not convinced that this case goes with this KVK. It might be worthwhile posting this in the cases and packets forum as well for expert opinions on the case.

Hope this is of use.

Got pictures of 2-3 crosses with the same "needle" hinge. Who the maker is I've no idea but I tend to give it a too. Nice finish on this one.

The case is a generic LDO case that could be used for KVK's, EK's, wound badges etc. Imo this one is probably for a EK1 because of the the light inlay but you'll have to take it out and have a look on the inside. There should be a number where 621 is EK1 and 629 is wb but like David says, try the case and packet forum.
