Glenn R Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've just secured this piece for my collection. It's not in my hand yet but when I get it I'll post some detailed pictures of the interesting bits if anyone wants to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've been after one for a long time but have only just managed to get my mitts on one. I've handled one before and can't decide whether it's a thing of beauty or a madcap Heath-Robinson monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The KMST marked EK1s are amongst the most desirable 1914 pieces. The one you have is extremely rare. I have heard it suggested that this particular fitting was designed to somehow fit on the Cuirasse breastplate worn by elite units such as the Garde-du-Corps.I have seen this particular type fetching insane prices.

Bob Hunter Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I guess it all depends on which side you look at first! Congratulations on the interesting new addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks chaps. Gordon, I've not heard that before about the possible breastplate fitting. Do you know what this speculation is based upon?Cheers,Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Congrats Glenn :food-smiley-004: I almost had a heart attack when I saw that beauty for sale but as usual too slow off the mark Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
