    Fake RK- anyone recognize this?

    Here are some images of an RK that has apparently made the rounds. Has anyone seen this before. Dave thought he had seen the cross but could not place where. Any thoughts?

              Some email to do with 'travel' sold it last but unfortunately I can't recall the specifics!

                Just another thought.....this is really closing in on these forger idiots!


                I look forward to many more 'myths' being dispelled and dealers / sellers who offer $$$ back adjusting their bottom line!!!

                  Thanks Dave! The cross is very distinctive and certainly will be remembered, particularly if it is still wed to that funny ribbon.

                    Fake

                    This has actually been very well done...

                    I wonder how many dollars have changed hands in its time ?

                          Dave, at our age, these are the only things that "stick"

                              superficially appealing

                              Hi,

                              This is interesting, but not convincing enough to make me bid on it.

                              Bad: First off the ribbon. The edge stitching does not look right. The suspension loop is unmarked. Next the cross. I've never seen a picture of a 900 marked cross on the forum. This doesn't mean they don't exist, but it doesn't help. The dates don't look right either.

                              Good? The name tag. The name and unit does match a RK winner. However, I think the guy was promoted after he got the award, so the tag doesn't match his rank when he would have gotten the award.

                              On a side note, what would the stuff on the middle line mean?

                              Kevin
