Not sure, but it looks nice. I compared your picture to one I have on hand and it looks OK to me, but wait for the experts.

Looks OK to me, I would buy it

sorry, it is not for sale...

I too have never seen a KVK with such a fat swastika. Also, the material looks like it should be tombak but the colouration looks like it's faded as it does on zinc medals. I would pass on this one personally as there are many more unquestionable pieces out there.

Here is a picture of mine. The swas on the original post does appear a bit fat.

**fayer** · 08-26-2011, 08:54 PM

so, it is probably fake.. thanks for comments...

Yes Fayer, I don't think you've missed out on anything good there. The detail shown on Roger's example is sharper and the colouration is questionable...not to mention the chunky swastika.
