Default 9-Place Ribbon Bar (KC+Oaks)

Gentlemen,

Here is an interesting ribbon bar I came across recently. I would like your opinion of it.

I saw it and my immediate thought was "WOW". I looked a little closer and noticed that the EK1 device was up-side-down...nothing major BUT then I took a second look over the ribbon bar and realised that there is something missing.

Where is the KVK2?

Best regards
Pierce

I can't say I care for that one either for several reasons. It looks like it was made yesterday.

I have to agree, theres a couple of mistakes in there, that could be forgiven, but i think Mike is spot on, it actually does look like it was made yesterday, or very recently!!
Even bars that are unworn, usually show some signs of age, but everything here is MINT
My guess would be a recent put-together???

Thanks all for confirming my fears. It's good to step back from a piece and take an objective look at it.

What crazy money it is sitting at now too.....I wonder where it will end....

Good decision to let this bar pass. I am too not convinced about that one

I would only buy it for the value of the KC ribbon, OLS and loop ... but already too high IMO ... will let this one slide.
