Wild Card Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello scottplen,It?s not a big thing and I expect that it is easily answered - I find it curious that the only wartime award is the Braunschweig KVK on the non combat ribbon; and yet, the Hindenburg cross is combatant.

HeikoGrusdat Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 the picture is of poor quality but in my opinion the Omaheke clasp is a fake.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartoonman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 back sorry for bad scan!A fake, or... a real one, applied where it doesn't belong! (Or did he have a non-combat role at Omaheke?! )---Cartoonman, Always Open to Possibilities :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or did he have a non-combat role at Omaheke?! )---Cartoonman, Always Open to Possibilities The clasp doesn?t look good at all. It was added in the wrong place and not so long ago.

saschaw Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The picture indeed is poor, but I'm not even sure if I like that SWA medal... it has a "strange" looking... :speechless: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Scott, from your scans the construction looks absolutely correct, but the combination is very weird. I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, and not to make anybody worry or anything, but if I had a little more to drink , I'd say the crown on my Braunschweig KVK looks a little differnt from this one... not that I can imagine anyone faking one of these!!! ---Bavarian Chauvinist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 .... of course there are fakes from the Braunschweig KVKs around as well!!! You can buy every day a faked 1.class on ebay and the 2.class is around too....the Omaheke clasp is a type of fake clasp (again - in my eyes it is a faked clasp) that came up in the early 90s - Bernd please correct me if I am wrong.... so it could not have been on there for a long time - that`s what Bernd said... it was 100% added in our times, not 100 years ago....
