EK 2 set with award packet.

[Lon]

I have this set for sale on the E-stand and have been informed that the award packet itself is fake. I would appreciate some opinions on the authenticity of the packet and contents. The cross is apparently silver, magnetic center & 2 piece construction. In hand, it appears good with my limited expertise. Thanks.

Hi Lon,

The packet is fake indeed. The cross is original but not silver (it's "neusilber").

Hi Lon :
Yes the packet is a know common fake .
The EK2 is an original common 55 ( no silver btw) which is found marked and unmarked .

Cheers Douglas

Thanks for the responses guys. Any opinions on the ribbons?

[Douglas 5]

They might be ?

While were on the subject of award packets, what can you tell me about this one?

Thanks.

The same fake as above - in a bit 'aged' condition with the same dot on the back .

The 2 thick ribbons and the ribbon bar looks fine. Need better pics of the thinner ribbon to tell.
