EK 1914 Just in

[Tom Y]

Here are a couple cased EKII's that just arrived from 2 different sources. First a nicely toned S-W in a minty fresh case. i've never seen one with the full size EK impression on the lid before.

Open the doors... sorry about the funky scan.

And a beautimous IVI on trifold in an Austrian case

[Tom Y]

The lid is a spring loaded pop-up.

[Guest Darrell]

Very nice

[Gordon Williamson]

Superb pieces Tom, congratulations. That first one with the impressed EK motif is wonderful.

[Glenn R]

Fabulous Tom. Both stand out of the ordinary run of the mill.

[Bob Hunter]

Congratulations on two fine additions to your collection.

tom-

both of these are wonderful variations and in

wonderful shape.

in fact, these were the catalyst for my switching

interest to Imperial from TR.

imagine a medal as "common" as the EK 2

(how many billions served???) with many

wanting to dress it up a bit with its own case...

and the jewellers and manufacturers responded.

i am no longer surprised at seeing a "new" variation.

it is a testament to craftsmanship, pride, and the

spirit of a nation. these remain in my mind a

relatively inexpensive means of collecting high

quality, interesting pieces.

and you got them from one of the good guys!!

lucky dog!!!

Hi Tom, the first case with the embossed EK I have not seen before..... very, very nice. I'm glad you snagged the Austrian one from Paul........ very special indeed!!

[Dave B]

The more beautiful Imperial EK's I see like these cased examples and Micha's Godet EK1,the further I get from the DARKSIDE ......I've even started collecting British WW1

Seriously though,great EK's!

I LOVE the austrian folded one

Nice additions, Tom

[Doug See]

Gorgeous!

[Tom Y]

Thanks, all. Although I don't have many I love EKII cases for their variety and the fact that the common Soldat had a better chanc of getting one of them than an EKI. Now, if I can just find one of those mini-Pickel jobs...

Excellent cased awards Tom!

well done!

Your collection must be looking really good by now!

Would love to see a collections only forum...like on WAF

Thanks again for sharing Tom!

Best wishes
