Thanks,

I don't think I have ever seen the Hungarian device before.

I believe they came in 2 sizes. The larger is about 22mm x 28.5mm. The one shown here is the smaller size.

Hi Greg,

I’m still working on identifying the makers of my KTK and found this post while searching Winter & Adler.

They are the most common maker amongst the ones I have. However, unlike your wound medal, they are all marked W & A not the WA which is also attributed to Winter & Adler.

Your aluminium ktk reminded of a possible mark on my aluminium one that I had written off as a manufacturing mark and/or wishful thinking.There are many manufacturing marks on the edges of my one.

useless photo below..,

So I’ve just had another look and now I reckon it is a WA stamp in a rectangle on the top edge next to the loop.

poor representation below…

 

I wonder if your one also has a mark there? 🤞
