Ritterkreuz, ST&L

[germanmedals]

Is this wartime RK? thanks

Imo it’s one of the new generation ‘Juncker fakes’ artificially aged.
NOT an S&L.

Imo, original Juncker

The filing on the inner beading corners on the front made me think new fake, but this also appears on the rear of these fakes. Not so with this. Might be okay, but it will be interesting to see what others think.

I agree.
Latvian connection, judging by the frame

[peter3181]

Hmm.. Reconsidering.
Leaning towards the opinion of a "Latvian". Strange filing on all corners of the beading. Looks like artificially aged. Unsure.

[Tony T-S]

I can see the filed corners now. The Latvian didn’t have the cross hatching of the beading if I recall.

[ben bijker]

That may be true, but the rest of the frame is very similar.
Not an original kc

[germanmedals]

What about this one,...is this ST&L?

[Ludwig]

Why not use the excellent Knight´s Cross data base, here at the WAF?

[germanmedals]

As you can see also the ones with experience have trouble with some of the examples so it is better to have an overall opinion, not just the one i could make by myself

Isn't it the one from militaria321 a few weeks ago?

[ben bijker]

The last posted RK looks like a Rudolf Souval postwar copy
