Yes I'm afraid Darrell is right,the cross is a repro.

Dave

No, I don't know the story. Please tell, or point me to thread with it in.

The thread is two years old so I'll PM you the details.

Dave

Hello

Thanks to all for their input. Now it's Sunday, and I'm seeing straight, it is quite clearly an S&L, and thanks to Steve for the overlay confirming it - look what you can see if you don't drink beer on a Friday night If I may say so, not a bad one either.

Dave, ?95 I haven't looked at it in any detail, so I take it at that price it was a reproduction ? If not, it must be the bargain of the century

Oh no David it most certainly is NOT a reproduction!! It is an original Type A NON flawed S&L RK,I bought 3 RK's,two with Oaks/Swords and one with Oaks for ?195! All were original ..you obviously haven't heard the story then? It was my 15mins of fame lol.

I sold them all,Gordon owned one and a couple of WAF moderators had the other two.At the moment I only know the exact whereabouts of one cross since they have been sold on a couple of times.

Hello

Excellent One more off the list of makers EKs to get. Only another 100 and something to get

Oh, adding that is just cruel. I'd love one of those, but unfortunately an RK is way beyond my pocket at present - especially having just bought a new house. I'll have to make do with my early 57 RK for now. By the way, if that one is yours you are very lucky - and I'm insanely jealous !! Seriously, a nice RK.

I used to own that RK David,I bought it two years ago and it cost me ?95 ...it is cased as well!

Nice 57er RK there mate

Yep my first thought was that it's an S&L but I still can't make out the stamp.

You need one of these now to keep it company

[attachmentid=58652]

Oops,I didn't even read your post..sorry David. I just saw a sweet frosty EKII and thought nice

Can't make out what the stamp is,the second character does look like a 5 but the cross isn't a K&Q.

Dave

Ooo sexy piece

I would say the cross is a W&L just because it looks exactly the same as a 100 marked cross,the thing with Juncker EKII's is that I have never seen one marked that I am 100% sure on.

If it were mine I would probably label it a W&L.

Just my tuppence worth.

Dave

Cheers chaps or should I say danke!

It's a great museum,I live just down the road from it so I visit every week

nice eh!

eBay.de...you gotta love it!

Nice cross Tony mate,unusual it has a plain reverse but a piece I would buy in an instant!

Dave

Yes David,the 2nd cross you posted is a Floch I'm afraid

Absolutely outstanding photos,thank you very much for sharing them Now I know why it is so difficult to find a mint HJ knife!

Dave

Very nice Dave, A very handsome man probably sold you these!

No I don't think so

Ok I emailed a friend who knows about these things and he said it's a late war Wehrmacht buckle,most probably Heer but possibly Navy.

Dave

I'm not au fait with Heer buckle paint but I think it's just a standard army buckle that has been painted in dark green.I'll see if I can get someone more knowledgable than me to comment.

Dave

Are you sure it's not really dark green?..it looks greenish on the reverse.

Dave

Hah! And we all lived happily ever after! C'mon Dave..... This is us you are talking to. Not your wife. No need to make comments you will regret having made! So just lust after the two new mistresses........... er, uh..... badges in your life. Very pristene>

Regards,

Mark

Ssshhh...remember,careless talk costs lives...'er indoors might be watching

New PB's so I thought I'd add to the thread.

[attachmentid=56272]

[attachmentid=56273]

Then you can understand how easily it is to get hooked on them!

Yep It's only really PB's though,I don't have much of a desire to collect the other flight badges apart from fighter clasps maybe..oh and I wouldn't mind an Ehrenpokal
