[Emeredato]

Hello guys,

I'm not sure about this one - is it an original one made by Kerbach & Oesterhelt?

What do you think?

I don't think it's a K&O.

Thanks George!

But is it an original one?

Hello!
It is a late wartime Souval cross, base metal probably zinc.

I agree with Martin!

[BMB]

Can also be a post-war cross with upgraded pin!!!

So finally it we can not say if wartime or not, right?

Personally I do not like both the pin and the catch.

Here is mine (zinc, with no finish left), that Martin also determined to be a Souval (note the same die flaw in the right side sword grip).

Hi!
In my opinion, right.

And Waffe hit the head of the nail.
