Guest Darrell Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I (like Robert) like to take my EKs and accessories out to get a breath of fresh air. Decided to take another group photo. Geez ... until I started unpacking them ... I didnt realize how many I had around. Hard to believe I've actually sold several WW1 and WW2 EK2s and an 57 EK1 in the last while as well.Hope you like them.I'm going to post a few pics that are almost the same but different lighting casts a slightly different side to them.

Ronny Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Impressive collection Darrell Many mint crosses, can you post Some pictures of the 1957 EK IINever seen a 57 with frosting before. Cheers,Ronny.
Guest Darrell Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Hi Ronny ... no problem. Love playing with the camera. Need better lighting conditions .. but not bad considering I'm a Noob when it comes to using a camera 1. Obverse:
joe campbell Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 darrell-would this last one then be a leftover1939 frame?thanks.joe
Guest Darrell Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 darrell-would this last one then be a leftover1939 frame?thanks.joeJoe, I'm sure it is. The "4" on the ring would NOT have been used for Post '45 assemblies unless they were left over stock from WW2.

Since I purchased it a year ago ... I now have a big guard dog (with large sharpe teeth) watching over my collection Seriously ... It goes well with my other stuff and won't be leaving until George sells me his EK2 (baby blue) Spange LDO Matchbox type case
