S/42

Thunda from down unda
I posted this on Gunboards German Militaria section, but only 1 reply as yet. I have BOUGHT this EK2, maker marked. Opinions, based, sorry to say, on this ONE photo.

I have my concerns over the ribbon (does ANYONE have genuine period ribbon for sale???)

Thanks for the opinions
 
Nor can I now... hot linking failed.

Vulch,

EK2 looks real nice to me as for the ribbon I know there has been a bunch of unissued original ribbon floating around.

Hi Vulch,

Indeed enormous lenghts of original, unused, unissued, EKII ribbon are still available and the large majority of EKII offered for sale come with a strip of this ribbon.
The EK collectors I know don't really care about the ribbon, they look for certain makers and pay according to the condition of the EK itself.

If you want an original worn ribbon with it, I would suggest to visit militaria shows and look in those micelaneous boxes you find their to find a tunic removed piece of EKII ribbon.
Finding it on-line on a militaria dealers website will be difficult I guess.


I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Peter
