Hope you're all having a good weekend wherever you are in the world, especially the lucky chaps currently at the SOS.

Since we were recently discussing Iron Crosses, I thought I ought to show you mine... Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but hopefully all right? (I'm pretty sure the WW1 EK is fine; it's the WW2 one I'm not that sure about since I bought it when I was a kid at a militaria show in Montreal) [-o<
Both ribbons don't glow under a black (UV) light...

Hi Ralph,
Somehow I only noticed your post now!
After scrutinizing both of my EKs using a magnifying glass, it turns out my WW2 EKII has no markings whatsoever.
As for the WW1 EKII, it looks like there's a tiny "CE" mark (or similar) that I'll try to photograph with my macro lens:

The last EKII is a TR Steinhauer & Luck EK2 with a (time periode!)replaced Imperial (KC marked!)ribbon ring, something you don't get to see every day!
