Ritterkreuz, opinions needed!!!

[Viriathus]

Hello everybody,


I was offered for purchase the below pictured RK and would like to know the opinion of the Forum members prior of buying it... The cross (and case) have been expertised by C von Eicke (Militärhistorische Antiquitäten Berlin - Christian von Eicke GmbH - Militaria Versandhandel - index/de)

Many thanks in advance and very best regards,


Jose

Looks fine. A Steinhauer & Lück Type A Micro 800 with an 800 marked silver ring. No clue on the case or ribbon.

The RK is attributed to

Fahnenjunker-Oberfeldwebel
Berkenbusch, Wilhelm
* 26.06.1918 Immensen, Krs. Einbeck
+ 23.10.2002 Deitersen bei Einbeck
Ritterkreuz am: 15.01.1945
als: Oberfeldwebel
Funktion: Zugführer I./GrenRgt 914

An attributed Cross will put a much increased price on the Award so you need to check out what provenabce proves the RK was awarded to Berkenbusch !!
