Cheers

Thanks Dave,

Here is a closer look,

[attachmentid=20530]

That is a Model#1 Ek commando knife. Made by John Ek. John Ek was one of the leading

private purchase knife makers ( in the US ) during ww2. and continuing up through Vietnam.

There is a good story about him and his knives in Robert Buerlein's book. "Allied military fighting knives"

This particular one is a Vietnam era one that was carried by a captain ine the SF in Nam. It was returned

to EK to be replaced by one with a crossguard. This was purchased directly from the son of John Ek.

The blades starting at the top with the Heer dagger and going clockwise are.

Heer Dagger-F.W.Holler

SA dagger-RZM m.7/62/38.

Gerber- MK 2 ( Vietnam era)

Camillus--MK 2

Randall--Model 14 (Vietnam era )

Case--V44 (ww2)

Camillus--M3 ( 1943)

Ek commando--Model #1 (1967)

Hi Dan,

That's a beauty. Not a Godet but still a beautifull cross.

Nice group of EKs.

I don't have a non-com bars but I do have these loose Non-combat pieces.

( Stogie, you might recognise the minis )

Very impressive, Gentleman.

Please look here---http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3993

Enjoy.

Part of my small collection. Mainly allied fighting knives with some daggers and bayos mixed in.[attachmentid=19522]

And here is a 3/4 size EK2. Standard 3 piece construction with a 20mm ribbon. Please not that it does not have the small crown and corner beading is completely different than the one showen as possible fakes.[attachmentid=19471]

I know I am alittle late to this discussion. But Here is a cross a would like to put up for your approval.

(sorry for the spelling)

This is a 1914 EK1 screwback. It is one piece with an enameled core. it is roughly 22mm x 22mm.

Would you consider it a 1/2 sized prinzen or a BIG mini?

[attachmentid=19470]

Gordon,

That is truely a unique cross and I would love to see a close up of the Red Eagle.

The detail looks amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

Here is my example of a 1813. Detlev estimated it to be a 1815 issue piece.
