Eric K. Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I got this this weekend Its kind of strange,I'll elaborate more in the coming threads
Eric K. Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Heres the other side of the lid it looks like period thread (also did the burn test) and it looks kind of like the over engineered(?) knots that you sometime see
Eric K. Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) The contents are as strange as the 1870 EK. inside was an honour cross some docs and then this????? looks like an almost mint EK2 missing the suspension ring....but whats that sticking out on the left side?????

Eric K. Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Now Im 100% sure the 1870 cross is a fake and Im almost 100% sure the Ek is'nt period made if it was a field made EK1 why is there no wear at all to it?? so why all of this for a bunch of homemade stuff???Its not made to fool anyone into buying this "rare" piece but theres something about the way the 1870 EK1 is "sewn" on the lid that makes me wonder.any ideas???
Stogieman Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Some kid having a good time would be my guess. That "conversion" piece is too crude compared to ones i've seen that were 100% period efforts......
Eric K. Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah thats my guess also,It is pretty cool tho.Maybe this can be my new"junk" boxEric
Stogieman Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Junk boxes are good to have but usually end up under the "junk pile"... somewhere! Love the new avatar BTW
