I have two non-combatant EK ribbons that do not conform to genuine examples I've seen in a few respects. I'm hoping to find out if they are good or bad.
The first one lacks the small 'loops' seen on most all authentic examples of any period ribbons, including the EK2. The stripes are the expected width and the ribbon is "stringing apart" near the loop in what appears to be honest wear... but who knows?
On the second example, the stripes are not the width I'm used to. In this case, the outer white stripes are 2mm, the black stripes are 3mm, and the central white band is 18mm, for a total overall width of about 28mm. This one does have the expected construction, with the "loops" of ribbon on the outside.
Your help is appreciated!
