Hello,
It is real.

Wouldn't a "UV" test work ? G

I don't have one.

Chrisk, I was just pointing out that no-one advised that method.. Nice ribbon though.. It would look great on one of my EK2's without one !! G

I can see nothing that says fake or modern.

Impossible IMO to tell from such photographs. Well-lit, macro images are essential and will be backed up by a UV test and finally a burn test if there is a loose thread available.

In any case, original EK ribbons are readily available in mint condition for cheap with many dealers.
