Hi all,

I'd like to add a little note on the ribbon for these crosses. As you can see in Guy's picture, the central stripe was originally executed in gold thread. Later replacement ribbons often just have a yellow fabric stripe as in the picture below. Far less appealing in my view.

Cheers,

Hendrik
