    Juncker unmarked RK

    I've had this RK for 4 years and I still can't be sure it's good or not.I've read past posts on Juncker RK's but after awhile they all look alike.I would appreciate any help on it.
    The center is non-magnetic(zinc) and is unmarked.The height(without the eyelet) and width are 48mm. With the eyelet the height is 53.5mm. Weight is 29.6 grams.
    The loop is marked 800.
    The ribbon is 45cm long,47mm wide,weights 6.4 grams and has a count of 19 white threads top and 19 bottom.I've read here that there are 15 7 25 count but not 19.This a bad sign.Also the edge has 2 black threads that I don't see in other's ribbons.
    The RK,loop and ribbon were all purchased seperately at different times and different dealers.Also the top 2/3rds of the cross have had the front and back frames seperated.The core isn't able to come out.
    I hope the photos are good enough.
    Thanks,
    Ray

                I used a couple of pieces of wire to hold the eyelet closed.

                      Close up of the edge,you can just make out the two black threads in the upper left corner.

                        The cross should be genuine, but the ribbon is not.

                        Cheers.

                          Raymond, the Cross is good

                          Furthermore thanks for a UNIQUE look at the inside construction of a Juncker!!!

                          The Cross is certainly worth restoring...
                          Regards,
                          Dave

                            Peter and Dave,thank you for looking and quick response.And with good news .Do all original ribbons have the 15 or 25 white thread count only?I'll have to look for a good jeweler to repair the RK.
                            Thanks again,

                              The outer edge is wrong on the ribbon. It should look like the knuckles of your fist. Clear "bumps/humps" if you like. Thats the short storry

                              Good luck with the restoration. Make sure you get good dokumentation on the work that is being done on the cross.
