Zimmerman 3/4 Ring Rounder!

[RoyA]

Now that I have everyone's attention

Here's an unusual example for discussion...awarded to Wilfred Richter, SS-TK, March 1942.

From my view it looks like a 3/4 ring.
The inner corners are rounded (finishing?).
Is it my eyes, or does the ribbon loop have that "Zimmerman" oval appearance?

...and closer...

to me it looks like a simple EK2 conversion with the suspension ring twisted because the ring is not centered above the swaz, but that would ruin the fun for you...

i agree with mads...

Man, you guys are GOOD!
The off-centre ring is the big giveaway.
The ribbon loop appears to be hand-made (single loop), and I'd say the ribbon is EKII width.
How did you guys beat ol' Dave to the punch???
