Kriegsverdienstkreuz Klasse 1. mit Schwertern

[Wilko]

I have 2 Kriegsverdienstkreuz Klasse 1. mit Schwertern in my collection as after my last couple of posts I would like to check them out for authenticity. I have checked them out as best I can and feel that they are good but would like the opinions of the forum if possible. As I say these are in my small collection and would like to know for sure.

I will post separately as they are both maker marked

This one is marked on the pin 4

Thank you to all who read my posts

Hello again,

Yes this is a nice Zinc made War Merit Cross by Steinhauer & Luck.


Looks like it may retain some of its shinyness on the front. To avoid "zinc-pest" it may be an idea to coat a thin film of vaseline on the cross, leave for 24 hours and then remove so that the zinc does not absorb any more of the silver finish.

Two nice crosses you have there.

Thank you for taking the time to look them over Jamie. I will look into the preservation of the silver finish.
