You do see them now & again Al. I was real lucky with this one,it's mint

. They go for around $1850-2000 depending on condition. Without blowing my own trumpet too much mine's the best i've seen,i think

Hi,i'm not so keen with the new pics i must say. ................ I've seen a couple of R.K corroded copys just lately. Stewy S

Hi,
Do you think so, it is a copy? Thanks. Juraj

On thise one you can clearly see the difference of metals; one suffers more of the corrosion then the other.

I would think it is a artificialy aged copy.

The more i look Kris,the more i tend to agree. While R.K's weren't of the highest quality,well not the solid zinckers. The one that started the thread has a couple of "questionable" points. Pin's ends very abruptly at the catch,usually they are pointed & longer. Bayonet seems mis-shapen (even on ground dug,they don't distort). Rust like spots on the reverse are unusual for a zinc badge. It's not one i'd feel comfortable with in my collection. Stewy S

We do look at thise objects in a very different way; but that is what I feel as well when looking at thise one "unconfortable".
