Chris Boonzaier Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 If ever for some reason you have tried to take the ring off an EK, you know you need to cut through it... but we often see crosses like the one on the left for sale... Wild thought... were these rings deliberately removed? It is way easier to sew something like this onto a Medal bar than a cross with the big ring... then take a look at the one on the right... basically made for medal bar mounting...
Motorhead Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Hm-good question-usually the eye ring brakes off-not the ribbon ring.But to tell the truth-I never thought about this "problem".... Micha Edited January 18, 2013 by Motorhead
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 I wonder if tailorsmounting medals did it to make the bars neater, easier to mount... and collect a little silver on the side... although I guess the amounts were negligable. But to be honest, i have never seen a bar mounted like that...
