Personally I think a good cross with a decent length of ribbon and good condition case will start not be below ?5000. My reasoning being:
Cross including a decent length of ribbon ?4400 (based on the cheapest: S&L/K&Q)
Case ?900 +/-
It's such a difficult price to give as there are so many factors involved. I think you'd be looking at ?7000 +/- for a nice Juncker (based on prices I've seen lately).

Rich is right, between ?6000.00-?7000.00 for a nice cased RK if you can find one.

Look at the amount of staining to the white satin in the top of the case, and the red ribbon. The red ribbon hasn't any discolouration at all.
I'm pretty sure that the press button and catch are modern too.
Just my opinion.

Notice the way that the ribbon is attched to the inside of the top of the cases mentioned.

Heres are some examples of cased EK11.
Three cases at the front are similer to the case being dicussed here, the main difference being the way the ribbon is attached to the inside of the lid.
My personal opinion is that as these were private purchase cases, retailers during the Third Reich period would have used up old stock left over from WW1 and produced between the wars before anything else, hence the fact that a WW1 EK11 may very well fit more snuggly than a WW11 EK11.

Looks like a nice one.
Is that a mm I see in the ribbon loop?

I agree, 88 firms is a realistic figure.
Ever thought who provided firms like say Deumer, who advertised RK in their catalogue (but didn't make them?) with RK?
Did all firms make every award and badge produced during the third Reich period, or just manufactered a certain number and sourced, subcontracted out for the rest?

Do you think it could be a studio 'addition' pasted on?
Suspension loop likes thick, like a K&Q?
