Question on my Juncker RK

[WalterB]

Gentlemen:

I hope you guys can help me. I have had this Junckers L/12 RK since the 1990's and I am completely disconnected in terms of market price. Could you give me a reasonable estimate as to its market price? The following pictures tell the whole story (although my photographic skills are terrible), but the following is relevant information:

1. KC is an early Junckers piece, marked "800 L/12";
2. KC loop is of the early style, with sharper edges, it is marked "800";
3. KC appears to be worn, with very nice patina throughout, has slight rust on the reverse, left arm, by the edge;
4. KC came with 18 inches of "Loy" KC ribbon (the orangey-red KC ribbon);
5. From a purchase from David Kane, this KC has a EKII modified ribbon for KC wear; and
6. From a purchase from David Kane, this KC is stored in a KC box that I presume is post WWII.

Anyway, I would really appreciate your help!! The first picture is of the overall set:

Walter that is a beautiful Cross...the patina is superb!!! I remember that bit of ribbon.

Lately, Juncker (again) seems to have taken off in price and especially the early Crosses. The information available today vs. 5 or 7 years ago will continue to bolster the ORIGINAL pieces.

I have no doubt that you are sitting on $12k

That's a very nice RK, I agree with Dave in that the patina is beautiful on this one! A true beauty of a cross!
