Baden medal bar with suspect ek2

[palencia]

Hi, I have recently this baden medal bar (ek2, Baden Merit Medal, and War Merit Cross) but the shape and size of ek looks like a ek2 of WW2 not like a imperial cross....



Comparision with a genuine imperial cross:





The ring has a unknow mark




This ek is a replacement (third reich)?, it is a genuine imperial ek?, it is a 1957 cross, it is a fake....?. Thanks for your answers. Best regards.

Note: sorry for my horrible english

Looks like a TR replacement to me. What is the marking on the ring?

Thanks Don,
The marking of the ring is difficult to read, I send a picture:

Looks like a 4 for S&L. I've heard of this number on 1914 EK2s. Tr replacement cross by the looks of it.

[Don D.]

I agree.

The medal bar is in my humble opinion a modern put together as most (if not all) of this eBay seller are - a forum search on "hagekna41" should show some results but I'm not sure it does.

The sewing is weird as the combination is (it's possible but unlikely). The parts though are god, but I don't know if the EK is a WWII or post WWII made one. However, the bar is bad.
