ek2 mm100 question

[chris clark]

i dug a few of my old ek2's and notice that this one mm100 has a raised bit at the top where the ribbon ring is attached to the medal. i did look at the ek pages but didnt find what i was really looking for. is this raised bit normal??

[Jim Baker]

Yep.

On every original I've seen. It's actually one of the things you look for.

Just ask Shane..... "The" 100 guru.

[meriksson]

Did you guys see the mint 100 that sold the other day on the stand. WOW!

I did see it but it was a bit pricey for me even for a STONE MINT NO QUESTIONS ASKED 100% AUTHENTIC 100. I usually pay $110-$125 for a mint 100 marked cross. at 135 Euros it was a little too rich for even me.

Great Cross though.

WOW. That is high. I never got to see the price as it was gone before I got to it. One thing I have noticed is the high number of mint 100's as opposed to other makers. Seems a lot of 100's end up in other makers, or unmarked packets.

[Airborne Nut]

I agree, Jim, there are a high # of mint 100's out there. Even the worn ones I have that you can tell saw action in some soldiers pocket still have remnants of frosting in their rim beading (for the most part). I believe it has to do with the quality of the materials used by this maker. Screams quality! Amazing how after 60 years they can still look like they were made yesterday.

Hi Ronsel, welcome to the forum

The sales thread Jim mentioned may well have been deleted. Once an item has sold on the "E Stand" the advert is removed.

Cheers, Ade.

Love those 100's.. that wonderful finish is carried throughout their entire series of awards, making 'W&L' one of my favourites..

Having just had a quick look at my collection, I see that mm 3 (Deumer) and 122 (Stahl) also have this "raised bit". Picture of the one on the mm 3.
