    Some KVKs

    Good day folks

    Here are some KVKs that have just come my way. I love the one with the orange ribbon. It is stamped 16 (I think, could be 15) on the ring.

    Others are marked 11 (top right) and 14 (KVK w/o swords). Is 14 Ochs & Bonn by any chance?

    Thanks

    James

      Here are a few more that I found in the bottom of a box.


      Two on the left are maker marked 127.

      Are manufacturers of KVK2s etc the same as KVK1?

      And another question - what is the best way to remove the verdigris from these without damaging them or should I just leave them?

      Many thanks

        This envelope came with the KVKs shown below. Like the KVKs it has seen better days. It is marked Ochs & Bonn. Can I match any of the KVKs to the envelope?

        Thanks for your suggestions

          Are manufacturers of KVK2s etc the same as KVK1? - Yes, where the Maker Mark is the same (L/11 for instance, on either a KVK1 or KVK2 is same maker). However, there are far more makers of KVK2's than KVK1's.

          Best way to get rid of (what appears to be) zinc pest on your crosses is a touch of vaseline rubbed in, I believe. Do a search for "remove zinc pest" or something similar, you should get lots of results.

          all the best
