SS Long Service medal and Knights Cross with Swords/Oakleaves- original?
Hi all,
I have been posting regularly over the past few days after purchasing a large collection, including a SS tuxedo badge which I posted in an earlier thread.
The collection I bought included many nice originals, as well as some decent fakes- I am not an expert.
I am showing two items out of the collection, an SS long service medal and a Knights Cross with Swords and Oakleaves. I can and will provide additional pictures if requested!
The KC doesn't seem to be marked, though the oakleaves have a nice patina on the back of them- the ribbon also has some hooks added on both ends for some reason.
The SS badge has a nice patina but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fake- again, the ring is not marked though it looks like there is a very small gap in the ring.
Is it possible these are original or both fakes? Could the KC be real but doctored up?
Maybe I am pushing my luck- thanks again!
