It was sunny today so I let these get some air in the back garden whilst I ate strawberries

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

That's quite a stash Jamie!
Congrats on putting these together!

Each one is kind of like a ray of sunshine.

Impressive...do they all have history with them?

**Aldo** · 06-21-2018, 09:24 PM

Remarkable ! Thanks for posting.

Very nice.

If KVK prices continue to go up, we can blame Jamie for hoarding them all away and causing a scarcity in the market.

Very impressive indeed! Can I ask out of curiosity, is there a reason you enjoy KvK 1's, so much? I admit, it is one of the more attractive medals.

Hi Kristian, sorry for the delay in replying.

My obsession started very early in my collecting (bearing in mind I only started in October '16)

I bought a mint KVK1 with swords and when it arrived I just loved the silvery finish and that was that. I do like Ek2s but when you get a tombac KVK1 it can have so many different colours due to age, wear and the conditions it has been kept in.

I have an L/11 Deumer that is almost rosey red through wear and a L/12 Juncker that is pure tombac colour. Regrettably Zinc, one all the silver finish is gone, is one butt ugly award but to me still worth having if it is a scarce example.

Oh, and @Composite, unfortunately only 2 of my KVKs I have any history on. 1 belongs to a Veterinarian whose certificate I have also (signed by General Keital (brother of the Field Marshall). The other belongs to a soldier of the Wehrmacht who was based at an Anti Aircraft site in Osterode am Herz (forgive the spelling my memory escapes the proper name)
