Looks ok to me.
Is it a true vaulting, or vaulted by hand ?

Cheers.

[Robin Lumsden]

Looks fine.

A great set, you will find that the cross is marked 62 under the pin (matching the maker of the case).

100% Right you are Frank, 62 Under the Pin. If this is not a True Vaulting then it is the best field vault I have ever seen! The KVK in my opinion has a True Vault to it. Very nice and completely uniform vault (unlike the bent appearance some field vaults have)

Thanks for the good news guys, I have said it many times before but this Forum is worth its weight in gold.

Nice cased example, its good to see them with the frosting still remaining. I have a similar early example of a #62 but it's not as minty as yours. I however believe it to be a field vault or most likely done by a jewler as all other ones of this maker that I have seen are flat. These early KVK's are worlds apart from their grey zinc younger brothers. Ed Maroli

Thanks Ed, I agree if this is a field Vault it would have to have been done by a Jewler. It is just too perfect to have been done infield. I have several Field Vault EK1's and they are let's say worlds apart from this one.

very nice i had to replace my kvk1 ws as lost its touch as they say.well done if up for grabs let me know

[Frank Heukemes]

I agree with Ed, I have also only seen flat 62s.

[Airborne Nut]

What should I look for to tell if it is file vaulted? Usually on my EK1's there is the telltale section on the back where the award starts to take a slant. Should I be worried since it is defenitely vaulted?

Here are some Vaulted pics:
