Hello Hipnos:

I saw this too. Not only is the EKII a modern forgery, but many of the ribbons appear to be modern. I have also never seen a large medal bar from this period put together in this manner. So overall, the value of the group would only include the market value of the four (4) remaining pieces on the bar [of which some appear to possibly be non-issued (period?) restrikes].

So, this is definately not good.

Best regards,

Bars that old virtually never have nice neat cloth backings. They were left as unfinished horrors on the backs normally into the 1890s.

The EKII looks to be one of those frequently seen coming out of Latvia on ebay.
