No polish.

That seems way over the top for a case. Kind of makes you wonder if

the high bidder realizes that the cross is not included.

Outstanding example of a "short 7" Godet.

That's a nice way to start a collection.

Ek2s hanging from barbed wire---I like it

Maybe PK and I should compare collections as we have similar tastes.

My faverite group of EKs is 1914 EK1s. especialy screwbacks but I love them all.

I also like 1870s but I work on a tight budget so I only have a couple. I have only

2 or 3 '39s and would care to add more but only if the right one were to come along.

I have no real interest at all in '57s. I also love Imperial minis. Buttonholes and frack

chains. I would actually rather have the miniature of some of the awards then the

fullsized version. I do not care too much for award documents but I do like original

sales catalogs from awards mfgs. I have a 1934 Godet, a 1939 S-L, and a 1895-1913?

Paul Kust.

I would like to get a near mint '39 that still has the frosting on it and some day maybe

an RK but I would much rather have a 1870 EK1 or a 1813 EK1 than a 1939 RK.

Interesting thread,Chris

OZL mini w/oaks.

Great mini !!

Stephen,

Great pictures. The picture with the CBI patch is beautiful.

Don,

IMO this one is fake. It is posted on WAF and George has posted a link to a thread

that discusses a cross that was deemed to be fake and matches the on posted.

Thanks for taking a look

Hi Steve,

can you post a picture of the WS / Z makers marks?

Here is a picture of the reverse side of Tony's EK2. I really like the

look of the oak leaves on this one.

Here is a comparison between the the cross posted and one of my 1870 EK2s.

Note how the beading at the very inner corners is a very close match.

It is interesting that someone brought up WW2 quality. The 1870 EK2 that I

compared it to is the size of a 1939 EK and is presumably a ww2 era museum

copy. However it has also been called a "wideframe 1870"

What about the spange?

Now thats a question -------

There seems to be a debate as to whether these little beauties are good or not.

Officially there were supposed to be 969 of these awarded yet I know several

members (includeing myself) that own one and they can be found on ebay

fairly frequently. So did they make WAY more then they awarded or are there

a boat load of fakes floating around?????????

I personally hope that some turn out to be good but I know that at least one

of our more knowledgable members believes them to be bad and he has spent

alot of time and effort studying them.

Rich,

I have always liked the way you display your daggers.

Very impressive.

If at some point while digging through your "pile" you happen across

a pumpkin handled Heer dagger you don't known what to do with, It

would have a nice home in Wisconsin.
