Can anyone tell me who the maker of this cross might be?

I'm thinking of purchasing it.

Is this a 1957 KVK?

No not a 57. Here is the front.

My opinion would be Souval AFTER 1945

Keep looking and save your money on this one. The hardware on the reverse is more commonly seen on postwar made crosses so I agree with Markus, not a pre '45 made example.

Thanks for the replies.
I have Williamson's book the War Merit Cross but did not see any examples of the pin set up. So I figured I would consult with the people that would know.

Strange cross for sure. Imo it's not a postwar Souval and it's not a '57 either, the swaz. Looks like some sort of a fake so keep your money.
