Another non com bar

[Miro O]

I would like to know your opinions about this non com bar, mainly the EK2 with the crown that looks like rotten pumpkin.
I asked the seller for better photos, but received no answer. That´s why I didn´t bid this bar. But it still interests me to know whether it is some strange variation of crown, black thread that catches the cross (but it is not visible on beading rim) or my eyes are just fooling me.
Thanks in advance, here is the link: http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI....torefresh=true

hi

I can't really say something about originality
but this bar was offered several times before
on ebay. also with this mini.

[Miro O]

It also says something. Thanks

Sell fake and put-together ribbon bars, some with matching stick-pins.

Also an old thread from 2008:

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.

Thanks, I was quite sure this bar is doctored, just wondered about originality of the particular EK2.
Despite my effort, I see no bar in that old 2008 thread, just single cross, whose crown doesn´t match with that "rotten pumpkin"...

imo all non-comb. bars of him are thrash.

he always sells the combination with ic / war aid cross/ hindy / red cross medalIII or II.

this type of bar with "metal back plate/hooks" is really easy to fake - and you
cannot see, what is hidden under the plate.

also things of "russian" members or from cloppenburg in my opinion is trash, too.

[Miro O]

Ok, but does he make those fantasy bars from original, or fake awards? I am still interested in originality of that EK2 piece. Good or bad, I have never seen such crown.

[saschaw]

The EK should be a good one. Not all of them are nice.

[Miro O]

Hmm, I don´t consider it ugly, just strange. I only want to know how to behave when I meet such crown next time.

This seller is known for peddling fake (recently put-together) bars with fake ribbons (look at the brand new ribbons on this bar!), although common medals are usually good ones.

Have you ever seen such crown, Valter?
