I took a chance on this '128' marked EK2 and packet...

[kfields]

I found this cross and packet at an antique store in Illinois this past week and went ahead and bought it for well under 100 usd.
From what I understand, 128 = Jablonski. I suspect it is a real period piece. The packet is somewhat rough but still pretty much intact. I am not sure if it is a match for this cross or even if it goes with this type award.
Can someone take a look at thes pics and better explain what I have here? Thank you.

The EKII looks good and the envelope is for a War Merit Cross 2nd Class Without Swords.

I like the patina

A great example with a lovely patina as Aiceman said. The packet is a nice bonus. Now you need a KvK II without swords to go with it.

Jablonski made a fine EK2. I have a couple in my collection. Tom
