Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this maker, or at least make some strides and come out with some further information.
This is what we know for a fact –
- K&Q manufactured all sorts of awards for the Wehrmacht, and was a major provider of both Iron Crosses and Knights Crosses.
- Sticking to Knights Crosses, we know that we have a lot of photographs of awardees.
- We know that the factory was in business until 1985.
That’s really all we know for a fact.
- We theorize, but do not absolutely know, that they may have been an increase in awards of this K&Q toward the end of the war.
- We know what originals look like, but here like everything else we depend on the word passed on to us. Granted, this is good for me, this not fact.
- There are surrounding rumors that the dies for this makers were passed down or sold (but the same can be said for other makers).
So what’s the best way to actually study these? Let’s see if we can get some pictures out, I know that we have a lot of people with them around and it would be helpful if we could come up with some characteristics of the award beyond the obvious fat donut to study and examine, and finally get to the bottom of this.
