German WW2 Knights cross with Oakleaves and swords
Textbook Knights cross produced by the company Rudolf Souval.
We estimate that this set was produced during the late 50's early 60's.
If you can't afford a wartime set for 50 000 euros this is your best alternative in our opinion. We see similar sets sell for 1500 euros in Europe.
Overall condition is near mint.
Great pitch black core. Silver frames are very clean.
Cross is marked with 800(Silver content).
Comes with an original piece of Souval produced ribbon.
These crosses were produced after 1945 by the Souval company. It was intended for German veterans to re-buy a cross in case theirs was lost or stolen. These crosses were still worn at veteran meetings, hence the conclusion, that even if it comes from the veteran itself, he might have bought it himself after the war as a second piece to wear.
