    Ek2 to Ek1 conversion


    Recommended Posts

    I believe this to be a period conversion. The pin used is typical of period

    ribbon bars and other decorations. I even have a parade spange with this style pin on it.

    The small ring was very nicely removed there is evidence of the modification (under) all

    of the build up of tarnish and dirt. The pin itself was crudly done or possibly repaired

    after the conversion.

    Here is another conversion. Have seen several 2. class converted to 1. class, but never the other way around. The cross is 800 marked.

    That's a first for me too! Very unusual why someone would, if you'll pardon the expression, downgrade from a first class. They have done a very nice job of removing all traces of the hinge and clasp. Is it marked 800?

    Another Imperial that leaves more questions to be answered. A very uncommon & nice pick up ksg. Thanks for posting it.

    Hello Kriztofer

    No 800 marking. I agree on the nice job done on it, no field convertion . Why..... your guess is as good as mine. But remember, they were not collectors!

    Interesting pieces. They do beg the question---Why?

    IOt could be a case of supply and demand. X number of EKII's awarded, X-2 on hand, but a couple extra EKI's.

    Sorry, this is a bit embarrassing, I can?t trust my eyes anymore. I clearly need reading glasses ! It?s neither a kag nor a ko, It?s 800 stamp (a very small one :rolleyes: !! )
