KVK Knight Cross

[Jokka]

Any chance this is genuine ?

I believe there is only silver and gold of the War Merit Knight Cross ?
This one is definitely not gold or silver.
It's pretty heavy and looks like a real ordinary KVK to me, except for the Knight Cross attachment ring and ribbon ring.
It has a "dent" to it at the bottom as it probably have been dropped on the floor.

What do you guys think ?

IMO no chance......no good details!

Just a piece of crap – IMO. Sorry!

Suspension loop is wrong and stylized a la RK. The lack of details and overall apperance eliminate any chance it is a good decoration. Sorry another junk.

looks like it was cast (badly) in lead

[Jokka]

That could be, because its really heavy

Well, that's because it's supposed to look like a RK KV. But as I said, they only come in silver and gold ( to my knowledge) and that should settle the case already there.

Hello,

may I add the information that the RK KVK with swords is reported to have been made in silvered zinc.
I do not know if this also applies to the cross without swords.

Nice to know, but this one is not zinc either, so I guess it's fake anyway, unless someone knows something else ?
