The Kriegsverdienstkreuz Appreciation Thread.

Just a couple more to add ! a pair of 57er KVK 1st Classes, combatants & non combatants, St u L pieces from the early 1960's...nicely frosted and polished highlights & solid hinge block's ! note, the swords were cut from a combatants to to form a non combatents, only one was die used by St u L !
Prost ! Steve.

Here are my crosses.

Another 1957 KVK1 with swords, of later manufacture than the examples posted by Steve and with an open hingeblock:

Although a later piece, IMO still a nice collectable 57er, thanks for showing HPL ! notice though, the decline in quality on the later piece, especially on the reverse !
Prost ! Steve.

Gday Gents
My small contribution to the thread.Nothing of note but all are honest examples I feel.

Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse mit Schwertern.......Unmarked example




Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse ohne Schwerter.......Maker 50...Karl Gschiermeister-Wien



Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern.......Two unmarked examples.Zinc and tombac



Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse ohne Schwerter.......Unmarked tombac example




And whilst not a kreuz, Kriegsverdienstmedaille .....................................Two unmarked examples



And a Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern ribbon bar,



All of my KvK2's and Kriegsverdienstmedailles are unmarked which I believe is the norm for the majority of these two awards.But I have noticed alot of marked examples on this thread.

Thanks for looking gents
Cheers
Dave
