KVK2 for review

[Carl Christense]

Here is a KVK2 with swords I purchased a long time ago. Please give me your opinions on being original or a repro. The suspension ring for the ribbon is not welded shut. Thanks.

is it easy to bend or is it robust?

[Adrian]

It certainly looks like an original example from the pics.

[Rob E.]

Look to be one of the nice earlier models from your pics.

The suspension ring for the ribbon is not welded shut.

That's pretty common.

Your eyelet ring is bent though (no big deal). Is it maker marked?

Edit: Can you bend it easily with hand pressure or write on a piece of paper with it (like a pencil)?

[Hartigan]

The '3' on the 1939 is a little bit off-center. Is this a normal variation? I haven't seen that before (not very experienced collector yet)

[Carl Christense]

Guys, It seems pretty solid under pressure and does not shed material if I try to write with the edge.

hi Carl, going by the photo's, it not only looks original, but a nice quality piece too -Nigel

[schönbeck]

its original. The 3 is just a maker variation .
