Mike K Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi,Top left is a 57er, middle right is probably 20s/30s. The Meybauer screwback is probably 20s (maybe 30s). The other 3 pinbacks are imo wartime.RegardsMike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike K Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Also an really nice collection!!! You said: "middle right is probably 20s/30s". Which one do you mean?Hi westfale (?real name?),Sorry for not being more specific, I meant the one to the right of the screwback (middle row of 1st class examples, on the right). Imo the rightmost 1st class on the top row is wartime issue.I thought I had posted this "group" scan before somewhere but realised it was done for some private correspondence a while ago. Thanks for the compliment Rick The Meck-Schwerin MVK is one of my favourite EK1 equivalents.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gregory Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 This keyback version was probably privately purchased.It came with very good credentials as part of a group, so I am happy with it.Open:[attachmentid=59113] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
