RK Micro 800 attributed cross

[chrisje110]

Hello Collectors,

I have been offered this micro 800 S&L Knights cross, which should be attributed to Robert Kowalewski, and comes with his (engraved) Italian Bravery medal.

Based on these (bad) pictures what do you guys think ?

Thanks,

Chris

Some more pictures,

Despite the quality of the pictures, I would love some comments on the cross,

the cross looks good but the provenance should be questioned. Kowalewski received his Ritterkreuz in 1940 so i would expect a Juncker RK or any other early manufacturer. Of course it can be his but it is certainly not the one he was awarded in 1940. Furthermore the Sprungring looks more Juncker than Steinhauer.

(Could have said "I agree, Dietrich" but I decided not to go there .... )

Looks like he is wearing a Juncker.

Thanks Sepp and Ludwig

I have decided to pass on this cross, because of the condition and because it is not of the person it was said to be.
