Many THX for your help.

IMO,this is a good mm 3 kvk1,but what i worry is the catch...Is that repaired ?

[5tefan]

Hello sunkist ;-)

About the catch? I do not know, if some one repaired the catch.

Looks like a nice tombak cross

Mm3 Deumer used different hinges, catches and pins in the production and hinge and pin looks ok for a tombak piece. Had my doubts about the catch but that could be too.

Only thing is, like sunkist points out, apparantly there has been some repair/resoldering at some point. The marks on the upper left sword and arm in picture 3 also indicates that.

PS: "Im Felde, den 20. April 1943. Der Oberbefehlshaber der 16. Armee:"
Is that from an urkunde or...?

Hi nachtundnebel,

Your question: "Im Felde, den 20. April 1943. Der Oberbefehlshaber der 16. Armee:"
Is that from an urkunde or...?

Answer: Yes, I bought this KVK 1 and the person who sold it put inside a copy of the urkunde. It should belong to this badge, but he will not sell this Urkunde.

If the urkunde belongs to this specific cross it is a shame to split the group :-/

[Frank K]

Well, in this case there's no way of telling if they originally belonged together like so many other "groups".

So if the person won't sell, buy another urkunde and voila you have a new group
