VonBierStein Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 OK gentlemen I have a question about a KNK2 w/ swords....I picked one of these up over the weekend for fairly cheap. I have others and this one is slightly different compared to the others. The 1939 on the obverse is different and the swastika looks a little different as well. Everything else looks good including the edges and the ring etc. It has original old ribbon with scrapbook glue on back. My question is this....does anyone have any pictures of fake KVK2's? As with EK2's, were there different makers with slightly different styles? I know pictures would be great....I have a new scanner and I am currently working on figuring the new machine out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 There are indeed minor variations between makers with original wartime War Merit Crosses, when it comes to things like the numeral style and thickness of the arms of the swastika. They aren't all identical.However, despite the WMC being common, low value and easily to obtain as an original, they are most certainly being faked.If you do a Google search on Regalia Specialist, you'll find most of the current medium quality copies of Third Reich awards for comparison, as well as some of the more expensive better quality fakes. I should point out, these are being offerd as copies, no attempt to decieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
