      Thanks Douglas! I'll post some more in the following days.

      Anyone can add pictures of Original RK's and (if possible) their origins and background stories.

      Markings: 800 L/12. Produce by C.E. Juncker






      Well, since the one that was at West Point is a fake; I'll post this one, attributed to C.E. Juncker.




      Zoom on the Award.
      It was said that the one in West Point was a fake or that there never was one. I made a mistake; this one is in the private collection of Wolf-Hardin and it is shown at the prestigious site of "The Marshal Baton", alongside some other personal items of Goring.





      I really don't think it is a fake; specially coming from Wolf-Hardin's collection..
      What do you guys think?

                nice thread and pictures, but mostly of the Knights crosses on the uniforms are fakes.

                many greetings,

                      Thans for the photos Stefan! But I can't believe that every (or mostly) RK on the uniforms are fake. Could be some, but no all...

                                Ritterkreuz located in Nordland Røde Kors Krigsminnemuseum, Narvik (Norway).
                                No doubt this is a fake, but the experts will tell me for sure..


                                Ritterkreuz located in Panzermuseum Munster, Niedersachsen (Germany).
                                Sorry I could not get a better picture of the RK. It is display in the "Panzer-Lehr Division" section.
