EK 1914 Can this be?

[sftrooper86]

Gentlemen,

Several questions about EKs.

1. Can the 1870 2nd Class EK be found with a non-combatant ribbon bearing the 25 year oakleaves and the 1914 Wiederholungsspange displayed?

2. Can an origonal 1914 Wiederholungspange (Type 1) to the 1870 EK2 be found with maker's marks inside the rectangle which houses the ribbon? (see picture)

Thank you for your assistance!

1) certainly.

2) no idea.

Thank you Rick,

I guess what I am asking is if it is a real one. This is my first and I am 99% sure it is good.

My best,

Vince
