chuck Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Gentlemen, I've purchased Wuttemberg Knights cross and wanted opinions as to it being an original award piece or a jewelers copy and the maker. Thank you in advance for all assistance Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It appears to be silver gilt? I would say it's a later WW1 award piece. Too bad about the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Vince, Yes, the seller states gilded silver with a period original ribbon, measuring 36.33 mm (w) x 40.17 mm (h), weighing 18.2 grams. Thank You Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Looks like a real silver gilt one to me. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hello ,looks as a true one, althoug the type of damage is strange for a silver piece. perhaps someone took a chunk with a pair of pliers. the silver doesnt fracture like a friable alloy.

ixhs Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I do not like every piece, they`re selling there. But that only my opinion. Your shown piece looks good. I know it. It should be a silver gilded piece of the Münzamt Stuttgart It was produced in 1916 or later. I like the MVO also because of its Sprungring.
