War merit Cross Screwback first class L/58

[EK Collector]

Hello,

I could buy this nice badge.
I think it’s a original late war badge marked L58.
I think it’s original, but I want to hear your opinion..

Thank you very much!

Regards

A washed out zinc Souval cross described as "nice"? Bit of a oxymoron don't you think?

i dont think so.
if this badge is a original, its 100 % Collectable in my opinion!

I knew Souval made the KVK 1 with swords , but wasnt aware they made the non swords version as well

[Chet Sowersby]

Victor nailed it. Coupled with the fact Souval did not produce a KvK1 without swords just look at the horrible distortion of the pebbling. The base material is off as well. Nothing more than a poor casting attempt.

Also, if you look at where the sword blades would have been you can easily see that someone has hacked them off to try and make an ugly badge (zinc) more attractive, but at the same time, fake!
