EK 1939 EK2 Case

[Allan]

Heres are some examples of cased EK11.

Three cases at the front are similer to the case being dicussed here, the main difference being the way the ribbon is attached to the inside of the lid.

My personal opinion is that as these were private purchase cases, retailers during the Third Reich period would have used up old stock left over from WW1 and produced between the wars before anything else, hence the fact that a WW1 EK11 may very well fit more snuggly than a WW11 EK11.

Notice the way that the ribbon is attched to the inside of the top of the cases mentioned.

Cheers for posting your cases Allan ...have you got a Schinkel EK2 in one of those cases?

Well spotted Dave, the one in the middle, in the RK type case.

Following the comments made by Matthias, here is the case with a KO EK2. Obviously not correct in there.

It is indeed a ko

allan!

so this is where all the TR cased examples are...

i am also of the opinion that the german jewellers/

suppliers were not about to waste perfectly fine

cases, and did indeed recycle them from one

conflagration to the next.

you have some marvellous examples. the

cross below the schinkel also appears to have

a schinkel shape to it. maybe just the picture...

at any rate, very nice!

:-) Terry, that left no peace to you now...

The (at the EK attached) eye sinks with my copy also not completely in the recess planned for it. So this is not an "out" criterion. Maybe your inlay is a little carelessly manufactured....but be sure that kind of case is made for the prussian ones (and in my opinion also the cases of this type shown by Allan -very nice collection, indeed!- )

I must still smile that my comments let you no rest and you've managed (despite all adversities) to get a "KO" to put it in your case.

Very best regards

Matthias
