    1. Thanks for the info Dave 2nd pattern Fallschrimjager, the initial issue had a diving eagle in the middle instead of the parachute
    2. The MM, if anyone recognises it I would be interested in knowing who they are.
    3. The reverse. I am not sure what is issued these days, I got these prior to the unification of the 2 germany's. I think that this might be an early issue also, by the design of the clasp and the MM
    4. Not much here, though I have a slew of Hat badges. From what I have been told this is the Gold Sports Badge
    5. The rev, I believe the one without ribbon to be a later issue as it is slightly smaller and the workmanship and quality are just not there. Thats all I have at this time though I intend to add to this eventually. Thanks for looking and all comments and opinions are welcome.
    6. A pair of KvK2 with swords, you will notice the 1 on the has the suspension ring hanger installed in an odd fashion.
    7. A pair of KvK2 with swords, you will notice the 1 on the left has the suspension ring hanger installed in an odd fashion Double post sorry
    8. The reverse, it has a very finely built pin/hinge and catch
    9. What I believe to be an early issue KvK1 w/o Swords, a nice job done on the stippling.
    10. Edge on view showing the thickness.
    11. The rev. I toyed with the idea of cleaning it but in the end I decided to leave it like it is.
    12. The obverse of the medal, it's quite heavy weighing in at 38.6g and measures out at 52mm wide and7mm thick
    13. A well used RK des KvK without Swords, again from a froum member I have it laying on a repro ribbon
    14. A composite of the Oaks and Swords, the brown on the rev is from my scanner
    15. A view of the Silver mark, you can still see traces of the frosting in the base of the ribbing
    16. I see I have some rust starting, the rev
    17. Here's the cross, it weighs in at 28.5g the suspention ring is only 1mm in spots.
    18. Here are the 57 medals that I have collected to date. 1st is an RK w/ Oaks and Swords bought off of a member on this forum. It's a 2nd version with a post war S&L frame, the case was a "Throw in" and is not original to the medal
    19. NCO Candidate? might have this confused with officer candidate.
    20. Don't really have much: Cuff Title It is of a nice thick construction
    21. The ribbon. I see now that the screwback says IKOM and Zagreb.
    22. The reverse with screwback, the case has a slot for a pinback medal
