Elmar Lang Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Hello, it's a typical wartime III Class badge of the Order with Kriegsdekoration und Schwertern, made by Wilhelm Kunz of Vienna. It shows some wear, but it's a fine specimen, not common to see from the mentioned maker. Best wishes, Elmar Lang

Josef Rietveld Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I have seen it on ebay, have i? i remember i didn't appreciate the rough way the wardecoration (laurel wreath) is fixed to the eagles wings. regards josef
Elmar Lang Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I agree with your point of view, Josef; although I didn't see that piece on eBay, since I don't look there often. The crude fixing of the KD to the eagle's wings is something I've already noticed on pieces made by Kunz. That piece is of a lower quality, if compared to the ones made by Rothe, Rozet & Fischmeister or Köchert, but surely it is less common to see than those made by the other mentioned makers. Best wishes, E.L.
