Hello Tom,
Looks like a good original zinc award with cast in reverse hardware by maker Kerbach & Österhelt.
It has the variant semi hollow pin which is obviously made out of a different material than the KVK.
I see nothing wrong with the makers mark from these images.

I agree with Adrian.

Hi both
Thank you very much for your replies and confirmation this award is all fine. I will get in touch with the seller.
Adrian, excuse my ignorance but what do you mean when you say ‘cast in reverse hardware’, I don’t quite understand.
Thanks again
Tom

You see the hinge and catch are molded as part of the actual award. They aren't separate attached pieces. They are integral, made at the same time as the cross.

Thanks very much Adrian, I understand now.
I misread ‘cast in reverse’ and ‘hardware’ separately rather than that the reverse was cast along with the medal itself. What a div!
Really appreciate your help authenticating this medal, I have now agreed to purchase it.
Cheers!
Tom
