Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Well, I wanted to read a few comments and opinions before I posted the price and my thinking behind it... but here goes, I paid $935 ... In my opinion its a fair price ... its not a fake... its a post war S&L ... and to me thats the difference. I paid $500 for my 1957 with case etc... and IMO its a piece of Sh#t (quality wise).. but I bought it because I would like to have many examples of the KC in my collection one day. Today another was added and Im happy about it.

Based upon these pics I would agree with that.
And that's the main thing.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Re: Ritterkreuz.. Steinhauer & Luck Non Magnetic
For me it would be better to save your money up for the real thing but that of course is a personal opinion and as long as you are happy with a post 1945 RK that is the main thing !!

Re: Ritterkreuz.. Steinhauer & Luck Non Magnetic
Can someone help me understand: how can a RK be post war made, not a '57 version and at the same time not a fake ?
