Thoughts on a 1st Class KVK

[Mike Dunn]

Thought I would share this will everyone and see what ya think. Nice vaulted KVK 1st class medal with swords. I don't see any evidence of a suspension ring on the top. Medal looks nice with nice patina and the clasp is well done. Thoughts on value would be helpful. Thanks for looking Mike

Hi Mike,

what are the dimensions?

Such yet never saw ,but I like it

[Mike Dunn]

Dietrich, not sure where one measures this medal. swords are 1 7/8" long. inside v on cross is 1 9/16" and outside v is 1 7/8" hope that helps.. (these are pretty close measurements) Mike weighs 26.6 grams

[Dietrich Maerz]

Outside to outside, in mm if possible not Farenheit ...

[Mike Dunn]

as close as I can tell it is 48.4mm i hit the wrong number..

[Dietrich Maerz]

That's about right.

[Mike Dunn]

so could it be a privately made piece--but the odd thing is there is no sign of a suspension ring ever being on this..

[Dietrich Maerz]

it is for sure not a regular piece as ordered or sanctioned by the PKZ. Everything else is guessing.

That's true..nicely done anyway..thanks for the help. not to be a pest but any feelings on value.. Mike
