Id pass on it, very strange hardware and the finish looks off to me. There are many unquestionable pieces out there.
imo its a good one with a replaced pin.

hence the finish has gone
The twisted pin is interesting. This was reportedly a 'fashionable' thing to do by the awards recipient, and i've seen genuine DK's and EK1's from the period with the pin similarly twisted around it's own axis like this example. I know next to nothing about KVK's, but haven't observed this trait on any fake awards as of yet.

Hm, still not liking it after all this time I would like more pics. I wish OP could chime in.
Ok im giving this a thumbs up now . Its an unmarked 62 with a replaced pin, this one is a variant by Kerbach & Österhelt that is zinc but looks like tombak.
Details seem good to me, IMO an S&L with original pin. If marked, the mm will now be on the inside of the pin.
