Re: EK2 ribbon question
No smell.
I feel it was cut from a roll, as to what period the roll comes from is the question.

Re: EK2 ribbon question
I have several of these thinner ribbons Danny. They came on Imperial EKs I bought from Detlev.
My personal opinion and thoughts, not based on any hard evidence, is that they're TR period manufactured and used on replacement medals, Spangen, parade mounts etc from that time.
So, not modern fake ribbons but not of the Imperial period either. Original Third Reich made replacements perhaps!

Re: EK2 ribbon question
Thank you Adrian.
That's good enough for me. (This one came on a cross from Philipp Militaria.)

Re: EK2 ribbon question
I think the dealers have got rolls of this ribbon from somewhere and they use it to put on EKs missing the ribbon.
If you compare to a TR made ribbon, they feel much the same as opposed to the slightly silkier feel of one made in the Imperial era.

I have just noticed something else that seems to throw a cat among the pigeons!
More to follow....

Re: EK2 ribbon question
You might well be correct Danny! Good observation!
Either way, I'm happy that the similar ribbons I have are not modern made. I believe they were made prior to May 1945 and possibly earlier.
