Fake

K&Q where not a oaks maker. Best it would be a 1957 variant, but dont believe it. Also dont like the quality.

Soo IMO a modern fake

Nope .

This guy sells a lot of '57' pattern stuff. As the other guys have said it's not original WWII at all and probably not even a 57 pattern set - just a 57 pattern rip-off.

There are no 57-pattern Oaks or Oakleaves with Swords. Why should there be - there was never a swastika on the original Oakleaves. All the so-called 57-patterns are post war productions.

Replacement

You are ofcourse right But there where a demand for oaks/swords produced for the 1957 cross. Its not within the 57 regulations, but still produced to the original award holders for there 57 award. Maybe the right words would be postwar replacement oaks produced for the 1957 KC??? or something like that.

But anyway the Oaks starting this thread, I think we all agree are fakes.

Hi tystgaard,

"Maybe the right words would be postwar replacement oaks produced for the 1957 KC??? or something like that."

Something like that is a copy, isn't it?

Or, as I wrote it in another forum, should we call it 'collateral damage'?

But I think, that copy is short and precise.

Exactly right....but if you're being technical, every set of oaks produced after the very first one struck, even during wartime, is a copy....

Hi bobcam1,

your comment is nice, but not helpful.

Post war produced Oaks or Oakleaves with Swords (KC) could never be originals.

In the post-war era the Oaks and Oakleaves with Swords (KC) had been produced long before the law from 1957.

After the law from 1957 the makers could use the same maufacturing techniques, the same stamping tools, nothing had to be changed.
