KVK 1. Class Fake or Original

[hellracer1]

Hi,
I need your support about this award. It is an unmarked KVK 1.Class with polished edge. Is that beauty a real or fake.
Thanks for looking and regards

Sure looks ok to me ! Tom

Cross looks a lot like a mm62 Kerbach & Osterhelt but the pin is wrong.

A good cross imo but with a replaced pin (doesn't look like) or a variation?

[schönbeck]

pins like this were used on maker 3 and 43. On the 43 crosses the handle grip wire is not to be seen from the reverse.

If it helps here are some shots of my '43' I just took ... note the gap between the sword cross guards and the cross itself ..




The pin ..



The front of the pin and maker mark ..



back safely in it's case ..



Hope this helps.

The pin looks a lot like 3 and 43 but imo it's not the same.

The cross in question is mm62, wreath, swords etc but the catch however is mm43 style, confusing to say the least. Not sure what to make of this
