Alex K Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) To me the ek2 looks very similar to my original one made by Wagner & sohn, not expert on the oaks, best let others chime in also, that being so, the backing and ribbons look a little to "New" IMHO, could be a put-together regards Alex Edited October 5, 2016 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The details on the EK look pretty good. If you can get a look at where the jump ring attaches to the frame, there should be a semi-circular "tab" extending up from the frame that the jump ring attaches to.

Streptile Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The EK2, the KDM and the ZM are all original. As for the bar, it's a bit hard to say without a closer look. But the awards are good. Some original 1870 EK2s had a lug to affix the small ring to the frame, but most did not. Wagners, for example, did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
