Bavaria Bayern Militär-Verdienstkreuz 1XmKr (BVMK 1XmKr)

[Alan]

Hello Guys,

I am looking at purchasing this MVK 1st class with crown and swords.

The MVK is not marked but It looks like a Weiss & Co manufacure to me, Would this be correct?

Would these crosses be typically marked being at the high end of the scale?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I wouldn't buy this cross. Weiss produced the first class, but not with crown.

Look at the enamel at the belt, that looks very ugly.

Regards Andreas

Hello Andreas

I have to agree not the best workmanship compared to the likes of Jacob leser and Gebrüder Hemmerle.

Thr poorer quality manufacture and the type of the lion made me think Weiss.

Who where the makers who produced "with crown"?

Are the MVK1XmKr usually found with mm?

Hello Alan,

I know only the manufactureres Leser and Hemmerle for the first class crown and swords, who made this class in wartime.

The crosses are only the early variations. This cross had been awarded to 150 - 160 people, and it was returnable.

It is a very rare class and very expensive.

Weiss made only first classes with swords. Here my piece from Weiss with retrofittet Hemmerle swords.

Regards Andreas
