EK2 RK-converted

[amiklic1]

Any thoughts about this item?

It's said to be an EK2 field-converted for wear as RK.

I have few questions, as it's nowhere near my field of expertise:

1. Is EK2 original
2. Is the ribbon original?

Any thought about overall appearance also welcomed.

And this is how it came, all together but without newspaper:

I want a war time photo of the cross being worn to believe in all those "field converted" Knight´s Crosses.

I agree, but what I am trying to find out is just summed in my two questions.

Also, is this a RK or EK2 ribbon?

How wide is the ribbon in mm and post a closeup of the ribbon in order to tell if it is original. Jim

It's EK2 ribbon.
I choose not to go with this one, even if I like it,
mostly because of the high price the seller is asking (400 euro)

IMO the condition of the EK2 is WAY to good to have been worn in the field even for a sort period of time. Rain, snow, dirt and rubbing against the uniform take there toll on these. sorry I but I don't like it at all. Tom
