2 minis

[tinmantis]

Hi guys,
Thanks to a fantastic and generous member here, I FINALLY have a ribbon for my WW1 EK2, to match my WW2 EK2.
But, I was told this may be a mini RK? Going by Gordon's book it just might be... your thoughts?
regards

I would expect...

...a mini RK to have a mini ribbon "loop", and not a EKII-like "ring".

Ralph,

could very well be if intended to be worn on a chain like these two 57 editions.

But there is an easy way to find out: EK1 is 16 mm across, RK is about 17.7 mm.
My EK2 WW2 is 14 mm across, so an RK would be bigger, more like 16 mm.

Bingo.

That was my second guess. I was wondering if the two pieces shown weren't meant for a chain. And those are very nice miniatures, by the way. I'm a big fan of miniatures.
