ok...here´s the cross

/peter

Thanks Erickn!

Got it from GCA and it came with a nice Godet -cross.

Can it be told when it´s made? During the war or later?

Got this case recently and would like some opinions!

Thanks!

/peter

Yes...Looks like it could be a kvk2!

/peter

Look at the marked area...looks a bit strange...

/peter

I´d say No good!

Hi Peter

I haven't seen a Cross without Swords with the same flaws as the "with Swords" but they came from different tooling so that is to be expected.

I don't think any RK were found in the Deschler hoard, or at least I haven't heard of it.

Thanks Gordon!

/peter

Gordon...thanks!

Have you seen a cross w/o swords with the flaws showing on some of the crosses w/ swords?

...with stripped eyeholder...

And...was there any Rkkvk found in the so called "Deschler horde"? If so...with or without flaws?!

/Peter

Got some wonderings about the flaws on the Rk des Kvk.

The flaw on the svastika, is this expected on every cross w/o swords and what about the crosses w/ swords?

With different dies there should be genuine crosses without this flaw!

(picture below taken from another post on GMIC.)

The other flaws, "3" and on the outher arm, 6 o´clock. There are two dies...one without the flaws and the other (later) with flaws?

These flaws would be expected on both crosses!?

/peter



Yes...that's for sure!!!

I better think before....

What do you think about the cross without swords. Were they made from the ones with swords or from specific w/o swords-dies? With that small amount awarded...easier, cheaper just to remove the swordspart!?

/peter

That's fact about the svaz. not only being a nazi symbol

but the pictures shown above doesn't have any svaz. so...

Perhaps the veterans of the division had a connection to

the SA, SS or the Nsdap...many old members of the iron

division that had their sympaties in the new regime! A reason

for the svaz....but only a guess!

/peter

Thanks Robin!

When do you think it´s made? 1923-1933?

/peter
