    DKiG by Klein (134)

    Posting here pictures of a potential purchase - a German Cross in Gold by Otto Klein "134" which, based upon my research on this Forum and reference material, certainly appears to have all of the features of a period original.

    I have seen, held and examined this award which is definitely lighter than most which I have held, which is also reassuring since that is a trait of the Klein crosses. However, I have neither a specific weight nor measurements to present here.

    One of the rivets appears a bit unusual, but I believe that overall the rivets are correct.

    Insofar as is possible from these pictures, I would appreciate receiving the opinions and comments of WAF members as to period originality - or not - of this cross, please.

    Regards,

    John

          Thank you for your feedback, Andy. Good to have positive confirmation as I will now be purchasing this DKiG in January.

            It seems to have lost one rivet ?

              Chris - not sure what happened to that rivet...whether the top cap portion is just missing or corroded away, or the entire rivet is gone. In any case, the multi-piece construction of the cross is still nice and tight-fitting so it does not affect that overall aspect of the award.
