My cased DK

[frank]

Do you like my DK?

It's a bautiful example marked 134 with 4 hollow rivets, pratically perfect and unworn with the only eception on a very small enamle chip on the swastika.

Unfortunatelly this beautiful decoration was very fragile and it's quite common to find examples with the same little damage.

I was in doubt about having it repaired by someone expert but than I decided to leave it as it is, respecting its story.

Do you agree?

Cheers

I would leave the cross as it look right now...
This is a very discuss thread, to repeare it or not to repare it. It is like Shakespeare' to be or not to be.

It's a nice piece as it is. I would aggree, leave it.

I like it!

I totally agree with everyone’s comments here, leave it as is.

[frank]

Thanks everybody for your reply!
I'll definitly leave the DK untouched.

I did the mistake once luckly on a common EK2 and I was not feeling happy until I gave it away and replaced with another one!
The decorations are too me more beautiful when they shows their ages and their story!

Best left alone

I agree...repairs are bad karma, especially on enamel work.

Just out of curiousity, did the damage occur before or after you actually bought the piece?

[frank]

Here is a pic showing the originality!
As you see the damage was already there at the time I purchased the DK.
