EK2 with orange ribbon

[Hohenlohe]

Hello to all,

I got this EK2 with orange ribbon. I was looking for a similar cross but was not lucky to find one. Maybe you can help with identification?

Many thanks and greets to all!

IMO this is a good Zimmermann type with late type inner core

But why the orange ribbon? Do you have an idea?

There were such original ribbons in use. Everything with this ribbon is fine.

IMO orange ribbon are from the early war period. You also see those orange ribbons often on early war medalbars

The ribbon at the top is one of those 'mixed' types .. not real orange ... a orange-red mix . ... often prone to fading .
We find quite a few different colors used early on ... no time line to when they were fazed out - if at all .
