        additional info

        ribbon on WMK is flat and doesn't glow at all, appears original, please opinions as to originality and approx. value? there appears to be a mark on this WMK but can't quite make it out

          Not sure there is too much value there. Someone painted that EK and it's missing its ring. The KVK looks like it was painted too, but then cleaned. Maybe 50 bucks for the lot.

            ok

            under magnification, the kvk doesn't appear to have been painted but possibly cleaned, are they real?

              The KvK is infact an RK of the KvK without swords. It has the wrong suspension loop. We need to have good close up photos of the front and rear of the KvK. We also need a shot of any maker mark on the end of the 6 O'clock arm.

                Thanks, Tony. That's what I get for looking at my phone on the bus.

                  will get more and better pics up tomorrow morning- I can't find any markings on the bottom arm but on circle of suspension at 6 o'clock, appears to be an L/?, all I can decipher, thanks, Bill

                              I personally think this doesn't have a chance. I could be wrong but the detail on this piece is crude and it looks like it has paint on it as well which I don't like.
