[sepp]

Hi all,
can i have your opinions on these KVKs? I don't know much about this cross and I wonder if their fake or not.
Thanks for your opinions!

Kvk

The first one looks like it might be a fake for the following reasons:

a. The grip on the sword does not appear to have the raised portion in the middle of the two arms.
b. The 1939 is not very good, looks like the "1" is still connected to the side and the "9" was not stamped good, plus the year looks like it is at an angle with the 3 being higher than the other numbers.
c. The corners were the swords meet the center are not pointed.

Thanks for your judgment.
I wonder what will the others say...

I tend to agree with z06Berlin, the first KVK may be a reproduction. In addition to what he has already pointed out about it, I am also concerned with the lack of detail in the pebbling, especially near the center and ends of the cross (look at the other two KVKs for comparisons).

Best Regards

There is deffinetly a lot of "flash' on the seam edge of the first on. I would not want it in my collection, though the other 2 look nice Hope this helps.
