ANDY BUTKUS Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 So...Does anyone have these in their collection?If you do could you post them for comparison? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Andy,Here's one for comparison. The suspension ring is probably resoldered, but the details are stunning. Although I collect minis, I'm still looking for the 2nd class 16mm in both classes. The ones I've seen though, didn't lack the quality of their bigger brothers. I'm not quite sure I see that quality in your's, but as always, that's just me . Btw, what happened to the ribbon on the WMM KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY BUTKUS Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Thanks ..I was waiting to see another one of these..I bought the WMM without the ribbon a few weeks ago..Recently i recieved a ribbon for it, but it doesn't have a ring to mount it to...

ANDY BUTKUS Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Looking at the one you posted the mounting rings are different..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Like I said, mine is probably resoldered. The ones illustrated in Messing's book are all with the same suspension setup as your's, contrary to the ones in full size. I don't think there is a general rule on thism merely variations. Here are two similar medals with different setup.KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Can't get the ring to show because the lapel ribbon bow is in the way, but same style as what shows partially on the "white-black" 1914 noncombatant EK2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Rick, that's the quality I was referring to, thanks for sharing .Now that we're on the subject suspension rings, here are some reflections of mine. Gordon showed a beautiful RK of the KVK miniature in a previous thread.That one featured the angled bars characteristic for the RK. I've noticed crosses for sale on various sites that had the normal suspension ring and attached to a similar button as Gordon's, being offered as RK's. I believe these are not correct, rather 1st class KVK's, initially manufactured for wear on a chain, mounted on a button to increase the value.KRPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
