Chris Boonzaier Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 A little bit of play between the sides. I dont think it was the cross that originally cam in it.bestChris
Stogieman Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 It has always been my opinion that the gold ek lidded cases were leftover stock from 1870-1900. I believe the ones with the "nail-head" push button to be original assembled cases and the ones like this with the simpler "barrel" button to be assembled early-war from parts. There's always a marked tendency for these earlier cases to warp out of alignment.
