Very nice Greg. Is that a jeweller type repair on the ring?

[Daniel Murphy]

I would say it is a jeweler repair. I have seen this type of repair several times on EKs. Most likely the oese broke off and took a piece of the frame with it. Great piece with character.

Glenn, Dan,

I would guess that this was a jeweler repair job. It was nicely done. Definately not done in the

trenches.

Now I need to find some 1870 ribbon. Anyone have any ideas on that ?????

thanks for the replies

Wonderful Imperial. I may need to put an 1870 on my list.
