Anyone know maker and time frame ?

The quality of this MVK3/KD is much more superior compared to post-WW1 pieces. Lack of hallmark/maker´s mark (or both) means basically nothing and to classify decorations accordingly is a bit short-sighted. There might be many reasons why hallmark is missing. KD looks like gold plated to me, decorations is sewed in the the ribbon and general look and the whole execution is good. It´s certainly so-called 3rd model (1866-1918), not early piece like 1870s but it might be pre-1914 production (turn of the century) or very early WW1 piece.
