KVK1 w/o swords L/12 for evaluation

Is this too nice to be true

Cross is vaulted and double marked on badge and nut.

Few more

I am surprised no-one has left any feedback!

If this is original as I believe (I did not find much reference material though), this is extremely rare and not included in KVK makers list as w/o swords - however that fact is the reason I posted this. I have not seen Juncker in ANY of the lists there are.

The complete thing is fake Jani.

The complete thing is fake Jani.

I have always been suspicous for any item with too many marks

Thanks!

I'm with Giel here.

Haven't seen any L/12's without swords so far but a lot of fakes stamped with L/12, so....

The flour sugar appearance on the obverse also says this is no good imo.

The "flour sugar"-frosting is actually quite obvious...

I dont believe Juncker made KVK's, but when you find something you have never seen before... all you can do is ask

Thanks for help,

Jani : you may find this interesting .
They look completely different from the one you posted . The marks L/12 look quit good as well .
He might still have them .

This fascination with L/12 marked EK1 and KVK1's is incredible. Why people will want to pay 2 or 3x what regular crosses cost is beyond me. I mean they aren't even that rare. Strange ... oh well .. whatever turns your crank ...

I agree - I collect mainly EK1's and Juncker is far from the best by design or manufacture, and not even particularily rare.
