KVK 1 w/o Swords mm 50

[evilmike]

Apologies for the rough photos supplied first of all, secondly ive been searching the forum for the last few days trying to gather the pics as i recieved them and i think this stands a decent chance of getting the thumbs up.

catch soldered on to reverse, (not an all in one)

reverse number 2,

My 2 cents......

Looks like all the other good ones with MM50 in them.

[evilmike]

there seems to be a fair amount of variation with this maker, alittle rough around the edges

[jagdpanther]

I would pass on this one!
Not the details I´d like to see on a mm50-cross. Pin/hinge doesn´t match!
From theses photos, the metall looks different!
Far from the piece shown in Gordon W. book about the war merit crosses!

difficult to make a conclusion on it from the pics but I don't like it...

what don't I like ?
The mm, the catch, the pin and the die set which seems (from the pics) to be from a different die set than mines...

But I can be wrong because never really studied the ones w/o sword

I agree with Michael. Not one for me.

Its in a i believe genuine case, looking through past threads it appears to be ok, do you have pic's of yours Michael? Is it with the 50 stamped at 90degrees to the pin. The style of the pin looks very spot on with the deemed original's

Ive seen the EK's (fake) with the 50 mm but the 0 was different , but anyway going to snip on it, already some other bits n bobs in the pipeline : )

Thanks Mike

I can see that there are some lines going through the leaves on the wreath, and as far as I know these lines are not supposed to be on a KVK1 or KVK2, but maybe let the more experienced guys confirm this.

Hello there,

I would have to say that something just isn't right about this cross and I would wait for a more "textbook" example.
