KVK with swords?

[ANDY BUTKUS]

Hi All

I'll post a few pictures...I think it's a fake but i'm not sure because i bought at a film props sale for next to nothing. I looked at it under my loupe and i can't find any maker mark. All opinions are welcome....Thanks in advance.

The KVK's I have seen don't have that much detail in the leaves, However wait for someone with more knowledge than I

I haven't seen a kvk with such WIDE "ring" that connect the body and the
top ring ( how you call that part in English ? ).

Maybe Laurence can look at that "ring" on his kvk's, he's got a lots of them

[ANDY BUTKUS]

Ran.. Do you think it's fake because the ring is too WIDE???

I haven't seen a kvk with such WIDE "ring" that connec the body and the

I think, its fine, Andy. It only lost all its finish, i suppose.

Andy . . . no, if I thought it's fake I would say I think it's fake. I just said
I haven't seen a "ring" so wide. So, I don't know, I only seen like 100-200
kvk's so I can't tell yet.

Regards,

Ran

After looking at it again . . .

The leaves are more detailed like an RK, not like kvk2.

So maybe it's an RK that someone added to it a wide funny loop at the top

Maybe the leaves are ok, need to see close up.

Andy,
It looks ok to me . I was wondering if the ribbon passed the black light test?
