Schießplatzmeister Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hello avadski: Congratulations on obtaining this genuine late war (~1918) zinc-alloy/steel example. These as you know are much rarer than the other copper pieces that are often seen. As to the maker, I imagine that like most other MVK's, the majority were made by Gebruder Hemmerle, München, but Weiss u. Co., Leser, etc. may have made these too. Without markings on the piece and without the packing materials (envelope?) that the piece came in (if this was labelled by the maker), it is impossible to tell. When the MVO/MVK book finally is published, all may be revealled. Best regards, "SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avadski Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hello Franken, as per our PMs this is the cross that was supposed to be completely non magnetic. Unfortunately the seller was wrong and the swords are made of iron. Looking at the previous cross I can see that there are some differences between that one and this one but you're the expert. Is it still Deschler made or someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avadski Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is my new find. It's a mystery to me due to the mark 'J.R.' on the ring. As far as I know there were only four makers of MVKs - Weiss, Lesser, Hemmerle and Deschler (and Godet after war) so either it's a private purchase or maker not known to me... ...or maybe the initials of recipient?

Franken75 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I saw this cross on Ebay too, but the mark in the ring does not make any sense, the cross is a late Hemmerle. Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
