need help id'ing bmvk2

[zarusthra]

I have a really nice MVK2 which looks great but one strange thing:

both sides are enamel - not just the front!

anybody know this variation?

cold it be pre gold class 1?

Any chance of some pics?

Are the arms enameled, or just the center medallions?

[zarusthra]

just the center's are enameled

i have a gold class 1 and several class three's but none have both sides enameled (obviously no enamel on the three's)

I have a 4th class mv order and this looks like it more with the exception of the enamel and flames around the center.

I am just wondering if this medal could be an original mvk - before they split into 2 then three classes.

Also the swords are loose and I think could have been added after

It sounds like it might be just be a variant, maybe one made by a non-Bavarian maker. Photos would help.

Hello, pieces with both centers enameled were made by Godet in 1920s'. As far as I know these were kind of replacement copies of original items, but maybe i'm wrong. Please post some pics.

Please post also a pic of your 1st class. It always thrills me when I hear somebody has one in his collection

Thx.
