EK2 mm "LW" with non-combatant ribbon and more - opinions please

[EK Hunter]

I just picked up this small lot. The EK2 looks clean and was of particular interest but based on these dealer pics I suspect the non-combatant ribbon might be a reproduction. But I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Your opinions on the other two awards would also be welcome. Thanks.

Best, Alex

nice lot ...the ek is a nice clean beauty


looking at the ribbon I think its hard to say just by a picture ..


but the marked is full of reproductions of the non combatant ribbon.
( and all other ribbon ,)

maybe you can compare the sewing of your ribbon with the following picture of a
ribbon I bought fore research ....

Thanks for the feedback and pics, Kay. When I have the EK and ribbon in hand I'll be sure to compare it carefully to your reproduction ribbon. Thanks again for your help.

Best,

Here's a shot of the entire lot. I'd welcome any further comments and/or opinions. Thanks.

I now have the EK and ribbon in hand. Here are some better shots. The ribbon has an "aged" look and feel to it and is not as "snow white" as it appeared in the dealer's pics I posted earlier. It also passes the black light test. But I'm still not sure if it's good or not. Any comments on the cross and/or ribbon would be appreciated. Thanks.
