Kriegsverdienstkreuz Klasse 1. mit Schwertern

[jamie7d7]

Have seen this zinc KVK 1 with swords marked 3 for Deumer and front of it looks ok (other than the coin blotting out the swastika). I was wondering about the hardware though. The first Deumer I looked at for comparison had a squared off type hook whereas the one for sale has a rounded hook. Then i found a Deumer with a rounded hook and it looks similar. Also similar is the pin mechanism and the '3'

If there is anything needing highlighted which presents a problem please let me know.

Firstly, the cross I have found







And then I've compared it to these images and I think it might be genuine

I don't see a problem with this example.
Typical finish for a zinc badge and the hardware.

Hello Jamie,
If you do a little searching through past threads, (which we always encourage members to do), you could always compare to my example posted here.
