Richard Gordon Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Guys, I have a dilemma... I seem to have run out of space in my 1914 EK1 display. It wasn't that long ago that everything fitted nicely. Now they seem to have spawned into a larger family so I'm going to have to re-jigg this part. I had to do the same with my 1939 EK1 section but that was easier as most are cased.I'm going to have to think carefully on the new layout. Hopefully tomorrow. Any suggestions will be considered. 2 pics coming...
Richard Gordon Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Last. Let's see what I can come up with.
VtwinVince Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I think I can find some space in one of my cases, if things don't work out.....
Guest Darrell Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Find a new spot on a manequin's head somewhere for the tin lid and you'd have double the space :cheers:
warthog Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Leave it as it is, looks good to meRegardswarthog
Scott Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Such beauty and history relegated to the bottom shelf :(
Motorhead Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Richard,there's only one thing you can do.........send them to me! I'm also running out of space,but well....you can't have enough EKs! Micha
jj08 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Last. Let's see what I can come up with.The mounting plate with holes - is that for attachment to a tunic?
Richard Gordon Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 Guys, no progress yet. Weather is nice today so not spending much time in-doors.The mounting plate with holes - is that for attachment to a tunic?Yes, I believe this is the case that the plate is sewn into the tunic to provide support.Rich

gregM Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Richard,I wish I had your problem--TOO many EKs.JJ08,This is what the backside and parts of the sew-on style cross look like--
jj08 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Richard,I wish I had your problem--TOO many EKs.JJ08,This is what the backside and parts of the sew-on style cross look like--Thankyou for this - I dont think I have ever seen a fitting like this befor - this must have been made for people who did not want their Iron Cross to catch, move or revolve!
Steve campbell Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Nice display. I'm planning a similar one myself.
joe campbell Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 at least one application for this plate-back configurationwas on the leather jackets of aviators, and , i suppose,other overcoats and field jackets.this is rather a pleasing predicament you've got onyour hands, richard!!joe
