I dont know who the maker is as this core will be found on several eks and Im not sure if any known makers used this hardwear. Are you writing the 1914 EK book Chris? Don said someone was writing a book and said photos were needed. Can I be of some assistance?
Thanks Chris! Death before dismount! Unfortunately those days are gone as I spent most of my time on the ground with the rest of the Scouts and Grunts. Only a mile? LOL! Scouts Out!
Thought I would take this chance to introduce myself. My name is Lee. I served as a Tank Loader, Driver and Gunner/Assistant Tank Commander for about seven years. I am now a full time college student, Army Reservist and I work with Dion at www.mdmilitaria.com. I am currently interested in rare and engraved EK1s.
I was recently lucky enough to acquire this JH Werner EK1 pinback. It is definately a favorite in my collection. Hope you all enjoy.
Very interesting thread and until reading it, I had not noticed that I have never seen a KO cross in a early war style case. I have only seen them in mid to late and possibly post war cases. Of course crosses and cases can be switched around but yet I still have never seen one in an early style case like the other makers already mentioned here. I have two cased KOs in my collection with mid-post war type cases and have seen hundreds more with these same types.
