    Two simple questions about EK II 1914


    Recommended Posts

    Hello.

    I have two simple questions (don't know if the answer is simple too):

    1. How to recognise if the EKII 1914 was repainted?

    2. Is it possible to buy the original ribbon to EK II ? I can't find one :(

    Regards,

    ML.

    1. Look where the core meets the frame. They were originally painted before assembly and a careful inspection will show idf there's a paint line or if there's any on the frame.t. Also, a repaint will tend to blur the details.

    2. You used to be able to get NOS ribbon on eBay regularly. I haven't checked lately, but it might be a good place to start. Also, the OMSA ribbon bank. http://www.omsa.org/forums/ribbons.php

    Original ribbon for this most common German award of WW1 shows up quite often.

    Be patient and you will be able to find some!
