The 3 piece Ek2 is a hard item to find, I'm still looking for mine.
The 1870 is just plain NICE. I can't comment on the PLM. I don't
have enough experience with those to be able to give you a
or . I am sure someone with comment on it.
Nice stuff Alikn. I too will pass on commenting on the PLM and the ribboned 1870. The button EK shares the same D.E.P as seen on a button I've, but picky as I am, the cross I haven't decided about yet. The EK+HC combo robbon is absolutelty awsome and quite hard to come by. The long combo, the ribbons and the backing are prestine, but the heavily worn EK and above all the NDAP 10 years cross equally worn makes me dubious about the time of assemble. But that's my opinion based on those images only
Thanks everyone !
Plm design looks to me like post war S&L , ...connected letters 'ur', gold finish and enamel is exactly a like, and quality is not bad, it's only 15.5 mm and letters are crisp and easy to read.
Here is another picture of that bar, ...looks like all medals about the same condition, ek-2 has only a little paint pealed off and the next two have the same kind "stuff" spilled on them at the same time (maybe ketchup at the party... )and that oxidation is identical on both medals and it doesn't look fresh, maybe that makes them looks older then others.
I'm not sure about th PlM but do absolutely not like the NSDAP mini bar. The condition of ribbons and medals does not fit. Are there traces of e.g. rust on the covered ribbon? There should, if it's not a modern put together... and, why are there no eagles as devices? On a bar, they should be.
