EK2 Ribbon Packet?

[Gary B]

Thoughts on this EK2 ribbon packet. It does not seem to conform to others I have seen. (different blue color, missing the Ernst Behrens line on the bottom, the dots and the rounded corners for the flap)

Hi Gary,

I agree with you and I don't like the packet either for the reasons you mentioned
This is the version you also find on eBay.

I agree with you guys

IMO is this the only ribbon packet for the iron cross ribbon.

The name on top is from the ribbon factory, Carl Knoblauch Seidenbandfabrik
Berlin C2 , Poststr. 23.

The name on the bottom is from the paper factory, Ernst C. Behrens. Alfeld (Leine).

Believe me they are hard to find..... now a days!

Hi schonbeck,

What do you mean by:

First is left folded as the EK2 packets

If you check on the back the fold is on the left side. This is seen only on fakes.

This is not true!

There are original packet that are lefthand folded.

The EKII packets by Otto Schickle for example.
