Hi guys! Aside from eBay, where can I get a Original Knights cross of the iron cross with oak leaves? Please reply me. Thank you!
I very much doubt that you will find the genuine article on eBay. However, when you do find the real deal, then you will need very deep pockets to afford it... A Knightâs Cross of the Iron Cross 1939 by Juncker with Oakleaves - The Knight's Cross 1939 - The Iron Cross 1939 - Germany - Europe Good luck
You've got to remember that in the 1950s, most of the still-living recipients of the KC ditched their original copies for the PC version without the swastika. Therefore, there are probably few actual originals left. Most of these are with the recipient's family. Even if you think you've found an original with the correct provinence, it's still probably a fake. Many of these fakes were made by the same companies that made the original so it's impossible to tell the difference by looking at them. KC award certificates are fairly easy to forge. Bottom Line: A person could easily pay well into six figures and get a fake! Even if I had the money and had the interest (which I don't), I wouldn't take the risk.
Besides the higher the military Grade of the Medal the less there are these. I Recall there would have been awarded some 800+ with oak Leaves.
