You have some very nice examples of the Mutterkreuz with the case Darrell! Did you get your new find today in Canada? (If so, maybe you could let me in on your secret sources) The condition of the one you just got is absolutely pristine (the cross that is), it must have been stored with care and not brought out in the open for a long, long time. Nice find!

Cheers,

Pat

Actually the first one came in from Germany. The second was picked up locally some years ago.

Hi Darrell

Nice minty case My Forster & graf case is nowhere near as nice as yours though I think the cross can hold it's own

Ooops looks like something was trying to escape in that last photo. I have been toying with my camera as opposed to my scanner, so I hope you don't mind my contributing here

Igot this at the Calgary gun show a couple of years ago

I amd starting to fiqure out this camera stuff, that did not turn out bad for a 3.2 mega pixel $100 camera. Thanks Darrell

Here is my best one of my two picked up at the local Kelowna flea market, a fairly good source of good stuff (and bad stuff ). I hope to pick up a cased example whenever I can find one for an affordable price.

Cheers,
