EK 1939 New Cased EK1. Meybauer L/13

[Steve campbell]

Here is another of my current pick ups. I've gotten mostly Imperial EKs, but this 39 made it in there. It's an L/13 marked EK1 by Meybauer. This one comes with a matching case also marked Meybauer. This was my first cased EK1 of any kind. The cross is decent, but the case is in top notch shape. Almost m**t.

Here's the rear showing the L/13 mark. I'm working on a side collection of Meybauer EKs so this L/13 was one I never had.

Here's a shot of the cross in the case showing the maker's name on the case. This adds to the set in my mind.

Another shot from indoors.

Here's the cross nestled in it's case from above.

Finally, here's the top of the case showing the EK motif. You can see the good condition the case is in. No scuffs at all and very clean inside.

I was thinking this was off-set just like my L/13 marked example. I didn't realise this was common for these and mine was a one-off!

What's the deal with the offset frame?

Hi Steve !

Nice cased EK 1 from Maybauer .

[Steve campbell]

Thanks Jan. Having the case marked with the Meybauer name really added to this set. I've seen Deumer do the same, but does anyone else mark cases like this?

Steve, here is my L/13, compare

[Steve campbell]

I see, the frame is misaligned. Thanks

[Richard Gordon]

Here's my L/13 and also shows mis-alignment to the frame. I just never realised it was common the L/13 as my early Meybauer is fine.

Beautyful crosses! Steve,now you just need an "old style" pin Meybauer with the maker mark at the pin......

Thanks Micha. That would be like the one you have I guess? I thought I was doing well with an unmarked with the old style pin. Damn you Meybauer!
