After purchasing a Kriegsverdienstkreuz someone noticed that the ribbon was a fake so I have replaced it. I was wondering how you can tell a ribbon is fake? I look out for aging that old smell and the newer ribbon seems stiffer than an original. The cut is also different the fake has jagged edges but I have also originals with these edges.
Before and after pics, also a comparison between the two, left is fake and right is original.
