Thank you for replies. I sold this piece week ago and now I received buyer´s complaints about this piece being "repro, one of those bad ones".

His arguments are:
"Tiny bit smaller" cross than normal, weird shape of suspension ring, strange second 9 in date, orange ribbon being 2mm thinner (probably he means narrower) than normal and strange shape of "inner middle core" with probably removed swords.

As I really don´t want to loose my reputation for 26 € including shipping (and matching orange ribbon bar), I would like to receive some comments about this arguments.

Posting more photos.

Thanks again for your opinions.

Hi Miro,

I fail to see the point in making a "repro" WITH swords and take them off

However, does this cross look the same between both top arms? Or just the side in the pic? If swords have been removed you should probably see small marks from where the crossbars where between the lower arms as well.

Hi Thomas,

Me either. Anyway, I just agreed with a refund, so the cross is heading back to me. I will make additional detailed pics when it arrives.

The cross has just returned to me, so I can post more closeups. In my opinion there never were any swords.

Can you please also comment on the orange ribbon? Is such KVK ribbon (2 mm narrower than common pieces) considered as original, as it is with EK orange ribbons?

Thanks, Miro

Your buyer needs to do his homework. A good example. Nothing wrong with the ribbon either.

it is alway a question of trust! on kvk1 sector www.kvk1-dna.de , i would be more sceptic that the swords was removed post war, to increase the price of the variant or if a sword break special on zinc variant!

What a nonsense...

As I said looks good . It never had swords ... just incomplete bronzing on the sides .

Nice Cross. I would buy it if I didn't already have one.
