Motorhead Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 After seeing David Gregorys Military merit cross 1st class of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the the "keyback"variation,I would like to show you this EK1.unfortunately the plate is missing! It belongs to the collection of a friend of mine.To the hardware-the EK is the variation with the blued sheet metal core(variation with the silvercontent stamp at the back/the "Silber" stamped ones have sa different crown).I have never seen a good one of these variation(forget the junk from Caarlos and HD Luder/Egliderider at Ebay!) From the pics it looks like the attatchment system was there for ever...what do you think?Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Micha. very nice. Yet another that doesn't look very comfortable to wear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Great Variant. there was one of these with backplate on ebay a fewweeks back. I was going to bid on it but the price very quickly jumped into the "I don't think so" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've seen it,too.....but when I remember right it was from "Caarlos",one of the typical suspects when it comes to"new variations".But it could have been also "HD Luder" alias "E-Gliderider"-this guys are buying 2nd class EKs and converting them into all these funny screw and pinback ones you can see at Ebay!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 micha-very sorry to hear of these scalawags who aremessing up real items to make fantasy pieces...have you seen any of these kinds of conversions?joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Oh yes.....http://cgi.ebay.de/BESONDERS-SELTENES-GEWO...1QQcmdZViewItemAnd have a look at his other auctions-some of them are with good cases....but have a look at the EKs-would you really spend your money for some of them?Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 WOW--That is just WRONG.Unfortunately he is going to fool a lot of people with some of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) In addition to his 1813 EK1, we see this guy - "E-Gliderider" - offering the age old combination of 9th Bead Fake 1870 EK2, non-serif 25 yr oaks, and Joh Wagner & Sohn WHSpange on a single ribbon. If ever there was an ensemble to avoid like the plague, this is it folks...Please don't waste your money on another one of these combo's...[attachmentid=63594] Edited December 4, 2006 by Biro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Who is the guy doing it? I sometimes run across him with document auctions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
