drspeck Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Looks like a post-1918 made piece made of gilded bronze, not a pre-1919 made piece of gilded silver -> here are example's to compare: link.

eurorders Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The things I noticed were lack of crispness and b) newness of the ribbon. Probably the result of a cast non original replica intended to mislead buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 This is a very common, possibly the most common type of the MVK to appear on the market. It is my firm opinion those are, despite they're often offered as such, absolutely no old wearers' copies, but 1980s(?) so called museum copies by Göde (that's not(!) Godet), a German firm similar to The Franklin Mint. So, more or less, this is teleshopping stuff! On German ebay, they are sometimes even to be found with their original "certificates", like this one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/195554029141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
