KC Ribbon - wartime or postwar?

[stdub]

Hello fellows,

is it possible to say if this KC-Ribbon is original wartime or postwar?

Only thing I can say that it is not melting and that it does not glow under blacklight.

It came with a 1957er KC with oakleaves and swords - KC is 3 piece construction and is marked "800", Okaleaves/Swords also marked "800".

Best wishes
Joerg

It looks post war 1957.

It looks post war 1957.

In what way?

In what way?

This would be my next question! How can I see a difference between wartime and postwar KC-Ribbons?

Come on guys - let me know your opinions!

The weave looks like '57 to me. IMO the war-time weave was different. I'd bet a forum member could show you comparisation close-up's.

I can not see the difference, when I compare it with the ribbons in this thread:

You can see the detail of the weave from that photo???

Too many assumptions, no real facts. Why say anything at all then?

At least I'll admit that I cannot tell from the picture!

Joerg there's a world of difference in period and '57 ribbon....just spend some time woth the pictures!

The ribbon you show is not pre '45.

Here is the 'edge' to look for...

I have a wartime ribbon (shown in the thread linked) and '57 ribbon and I still claim that this is way different and '57. If I'm wrong it's my eyes problem, that's why I need to wear glasses (I'll get them this Thuesday).

Hi Rich,

Pure feeling actually... FOR ME it looks way different then the wartimes I saw. I don't really know how to explain this but take a closer look to Dave's pictures. I always say: "the wartime ones are bubbled, the post-war ones not." I can't really explain that sentence but that's how I sort the difference out.
Cheers,
Junior.
