EK 1939 Surprise EK2.

[CRBeery]

Tomorrow marks another yearly gathering in my town of antique peddlers. About three years ago I went expecting to find my usual nothing. To my surprise there was a military dealer there. I bought about 8 items from him. One item was this poor rusty, beat-up bar that nobody wanted. I bought it as I was leaving around 2:00. It was $60 and I figured I could strip the medals off and scrap the bar and still get my money back. I checked before I bought it and was disappointed that the EK2 was not marked. Sad to say - IT TOOK ME 8 HOURS TO NOTICE THE 3!!!

This is why I stay in Imperial. I do not think I would pay the extra money from a dealer for one of these. This was the only way one of these would fall into my collection.

I once told a friend what I had sold my round 3 for and his eyes popped out. He collects ammunition boxes etc. but has 2-3 medals. he said he will go home and look at his one and only EK2.... I figured "yeah right!"

Half an hour later he calls up... and it is a rounder... go figure !

Isn't it great when that happens?!

Reminds me of the circumstances with this trio... it was on Ebay and the pictures were dark but I noticed it straight away and got it for a song
