A lot of ribbon bars seem to be found in very good condition, so that in itself is not a problem. Sadly everything gets faked these days, but a two place for EKII and Eastern front would have been very common and it looks good with the cloth backing. Early fakes tended to not have that but I think more modern fake types do.

Regards,

Jerry

yes jerry i shall get an ir light then all will be clear with early fakes will the ribbon still light up if fake?

thanks rory
