GOLDEN RK Des KvK oakleaves?

[all1knew]

Hello all,

I read somewhere on the forum that there was a presentation of the GOLDEN RK Des KvK with oakleaves. Can somebody clarify or perhaps post a picture?

Jesus! What´s next? A numbered BKA?

Dear William,

That is correct. I believe there was also a silver version with oakleaves. These were discovered as part of the Schloss Klosshiem find. Jason Burmeister had them on display at the last SOS.

dumb question but whats the Schloss Klosshiem find and whats the story behind it?

[Leroy]

Klessheim was (and still is) a huge estate, used by Hitler as a meeting place with foreign dignitaries. At the end of the war, the PKZ moved large stocks of awards (especially high-end pieces) to Klessheim. American troops occupied Klessheim and found and looted the awards stored there. Jason and other members here (especially Bob Hritz) have tried, with a good deal of success, to track down these veterans.

Any picturers?

[Leroy]

No photos of the medals, but here's a photo by Pieter Verbruggen of part of Klessheim.

Here's one of Bob Hritz's finds from a Klessheim vet.

If you do a search of SOS pictures there is one in there that shows these RK KVKs as part of Jason's display.
