Knight Cross Oak leaf swords and diamonds

[Kevin R.]

Hello

I picked this up a couple days ago. It is to bad that the black was removed. I don't know if I like the oak leaf and swords at all. please let me know what you think if it is a repro?

Hi Kevin

It looks like a (late) post-war L/58 marked Souval cross to me.

I can't speak for the OLSD being Souval - but they are certainly not wartime.

Not a bad filler - a shame it has been stripped and de-faced a little.


In that shape it is still worth a little. Souval's often go for $300 upwards (but not in that condition I'm afraid).

Reminds me of the Reisenhauft repros sold through the Shotgun news in the 60's.(anyone still have one?)I sold mine in 75. Has the dipping three, although ,Not sure if the oaks and swords May be W german or not since the back side is missing(I don't collect W german stuff) it does have some age patina , so it isnt a recent made set. The quality of the relief holes are poor...not even deburred..... as it wouldn't have passed quality control inspection, so I'm giving it on a scale of one to ten .....a two. In cases like this a presidium diamond tester that can discriminate out moisinite and other synthetic stones is very helpful to determine if the stones at least are real diamonds or not . Sorry to be negative, but I had one back in the 70s ...they sold in SGN for 350. , and believe me, that was a lot of money to pay back in 1969. Lets see if anyone disagrees. Looks like they marked it 800 L12 , is that correct? These are very light in weight compared to an original. (the stones may be CZ's) What did they charge you if you dont mind saying. I sold mine in 75 for 125.

These are both late products of Rudolf Souval, probably from the late 1970s.

Sad about the paint. It has the Souval dipping three as has been said. As its a Souval I'd restore it as a nice filler

Yes its a postwar Rudolf Souval cross
