hagwalther Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hi Guys,I picked this up a few years ago now and never really looked into it much.Am I right in thinking that "JWS" EKII's are desirable - I'm more TR combat badges and note that JWS also made badges in this era.I ask this due to a comments made in this thread here:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20982RegardsChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregM Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 That is a nice looking, hard to find cross and the case isone of the nicest I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 This maker is extremely hard to find. The case should be blacklighted, IMO. The catch looks more consistent with WW2/post WW2 manufacture and the lettering/ink just looks a little too crisp and new to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 OK, I know it is not JWS but I still like it :-) Cross signed KO, case DRGM. Both in mint condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagwalther Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) Hi Guys,Thanks for all the comments.I just checked th case under UV light and nothing glows here at all - just a dull gray response as per the white ribbon lines.The lining is now yellowing and the elastic ribbon restraints are starting to lose their elasticity which seems to imply some ageing in both materials.Nice items though and many thanks for the JWS info as I know very little about imperial EKII's and it's nice to hear that it is a nice one.RegardsChris Edited September 9, 2007 by hagwalther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
