Godet EK2 with horizontal ribbon and pin:

[Douglas 5]

A recent addition for my Godets that came with a different type of ribbon mount and pin . Different from the normal ring luped version and the recently posted Austrian trifold types . Could not find any other EK2s like it but the style and ribbon set up simmular or very close to some Female RAD and Mother cross minis .
Looks like a wear set up for (formal/functions) civilian wear - now - worn by any gender ? - or just by female awardees ? I asume not awarded this way but altered afterwards .

I think on some photo I saw this kind of wear.. but that is just an opinion, it might be from some civilian custom style of wear after the war etc.

After the war wearing this prohibited symbol ?

Nice early Godet Douglas

I have heard this type of setup was worn by men on tuxedos.

Here is my early Godet, mounted:



One of the nicest EKs made in my opinion -- early Godet quality.

Hi Douglas,

I like those seldom seen mountings. I have a similar Imperial setup with safety pin on the back.

Very very nice guys.

Hi Trevor
I agree, the finest EKII came from Godet.
I have another one, same assembling of your.

I have seen red cross nurses that have been awarded the EKII, so don't even pretend that's out of the question. I don't know if this is the style they would wear though.

Thanks guys .
Regardless who wore this then - it is a ribbon mount type for civil wear .
