Miniature medal chain.

[Miro O]

Nice chain for great price! I would add an EK1, as you already have RK there.

Although... if I had this chain, I would trade one EK2 for EK1 and put there this RK, which I bought for 23 euros.

Hi Miro!
I don't think that is an RK on Maciej's chain, it looks like two EK2's to me, the mini RK was normally bigger, and should be before both EK's on any chain!

[Arthur Spooner]

The two EKs are definitive both an EK2 with the size of 16mm. The RK miniatures have a size of 19mm!
Imo the missing miniature could be probably a DK / RK / Ehrenblattspange or a Bundesverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse and higher.
I personally would add no other miniature.
It would distort the history behind imo.

[Miro O]

The history is already distorted on this chain, Arthur. Look at the distorted hooks on EK2 in the post No 7 and on badges in post No 6. This is messed up chain, so it would be better to put it to historically feasible shape. IMO.

Hey, Nigel, I know my back up plan is better, but unfortunately, my RK mini is not for sale.

Best, Miro

Hi Miro!
I just noticed the mark on the reverse of your RK/Oaks mini, is it "925"?

Yes Nigel, and the same 925 mark is on the last loop.

[Nigel N]

Thanks for that Miro
What date do you think your mini RK is? I remember a discussion a long time ago where the "925" silver content mark was considered 1980's onwards, but the more pieces we see, the more we learn!!!!!!!

I don´t know, Nigel. And for 23 euros, I really don´t care.

I have very early S&L cased EK1, very early EK1 "L/11" and EK2 "3", I have non magnetic S&L from 70´s, so I have no problem to own one 57 piece from 80´s.

I also saw on eBay same RK mini with swords and diamonds, but hunters were awaken that time and I was outbid.

Hi Miro!
I don't know for sure that 925 is 80's+
I haven't seen a 925 piece for a while, which is why I was interested to hear your thoughts on production date!

I am still beginner, Nigel, so I don´t know. Maybe it would be great to start "925" thread. I will post my RK mini there for sure.

Ok Miro!!
What I might do, is to start a thread on silver content marks on 57 or 57 era pieces, that could include any marked pieces, full size or mini, and look at the different marks, who used them, and when!

As I said, good idea.

And...apologies to Maciej, as we went wandering off topic a little in his thread!!!!!!!!!
-Nigel

[Maciej G]

Nigel! Everything ok.
Every thought is important.
Mini RK with additives which showed Miro very nice! But it would probably already too much!
RK and DK still welcome ..
Thank you all guys for your opinions!

Best regards.

Hi Maciej,

I like your chain very much. I love ANYTHING FJ related, so yes! Nice chain!

To answer your original question, yes, it was not uncommon to see other LW qualification badges along side an FJ badge.

Enjoy your chain!
