Knight Crosses today.

[AlikN]

Date on the core of this cross looks a lot like Otto Schickle,
I don't know about the frame, I see some crosshatching,
...do you have any close up of it ?
...or picture of the reverse to see if that date matching OS core?

I would say an early Juncker.

[magnusmilitaria]

yes an early unmagnetic RK without any stamps on it.

[StefanK.]

Alikn is right. The cross is odd, the frame is clearly from an early Juncker and the core is textbook Schickle. Interesting piece!

Thanks Alikn for the info!

Waffen SS Standartenführer Leon Degrelle's RK with Oakleafs


This caption was captured during an interview with Degrelle, in Spain.





Also, this RK was found on a battlefield in Russia, unknown location:

RK awarded to Oberleutnant Hans Guhr
With the permition of WAF member "mdj", I'll post the RK that once belonged to Oberleutnant Gurh (Gren. Rgt. 513 in 294. Infanterie Division.).






RK awarded to Unteroffizier Jacob Fuchs
This Knight Cross was awarded to Jacob Fuchs, 3/GREN. REGT. 124, and the RK is a typical “A Type” made by Steinhauer & Luck, numbered 800.



RK awarded to Oberleutnant Franz Kech
This RK was given to Kech in 1943, during the battles in Ukraine. I believe he was killed that very same year.
