    1. Hello Chris, the MVKs and MVOs were invariably handed out in cases. Reason for that was the return obligation.
      Thus, the MVOs and MVks were always stored safely and were rarely returned damaged. The blue bag
      would have to come from an EK or from an honor cross for front fighters

      The only option I see in a private purchase. Since the original would have been returned 
      in the case after death and the privately procured piece could have been in a bag.

    2. I'll try it again. 
      For gilded medallions or MVOs, the edge of the lower cross arm is widened on the back. 
      As a result, it was immediately obvious that the 4th class of the MVO is not a real gold 
      medallion or the 3rd class gold plated MVOs. In this example, the widening of the lower 
      cross arm on the front can be seen. This should be correct on the back. As an example, 
      I want to show the back of a MVO 4th class with silvered medallions from 1917 onwards. 
      Here you can clearly see the broadening of the lower cross arm. Depending on the manufacturer, 
      this is sometimes less pronounced. 
      Left of the MVO with silver-gilt medallions from 1917 until the end of the war, 
      on the right the MVO with three-part real gold medallions until the end of 1916.

    3. Hello, this MVK 2. Kl. X was an original piece, in which the swords were missing 
      and a damage in the enamel is recognizable. These 2nd classes with swords can 
      often get between 80 and 120 euros. Without swords and with damage, I find 80 
      euros for this peace not cheap.
      
      I hope that brings you a little further.
