Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse who made it?

[KrikoT]

Hi Guys,

I need some help to find out how is the maker of this KVK1. I'm not pretty sure that Klein & Quenzer, but the pin is looks weird to me.

Thank you for the help!

Hello an unmarked S&L I believe. From EK1 DNA for comparison



L/16 Steinhauer & Lueck, L

Best regards.

It's not a K&Q IMO as the handles of the swords are completely different.

I would think it is more likely a '4' Steinhauer & Luck with a mangled / replaced and mangled pin.

Cheers

Yes, it looks more likely a Steinhauer & Lueck. And what do you think? Is the pin can be wartime replace or later? Or do you see any red flags on it?

I think it's a period pin just lost it's finish like the rest of the badge. No worries it even has the same irregular shape as the one I posted from EK1 DNA. Best regards.
