EK 1939 cased EK1

[Chris Boonzaier]

Looks like an unmarked 65.

Interesting late war case, with no button. I found it more interesting than the cross.Also no hinge, just a paper and the lining keep the top on.

I have seen KVK cases like this, but so far no EK cases... Anyone else seen one?

Hi Chris,

Yes, this type is around. I have one that came with a LW PO grouping. I also have one that came with an early 57er!

Yep I also have one with a 57er EK1 and I have an LDO Halbetui.

Only pic I have got for the 57.

I would guess these were left over cases used for 57s?

he making style is exactly the same as the style I had a late war znk KVK1 (maker 4) in.

The inside (when you prise the bottom out) has the WW2 style stamps and old bone glue, which is long out of date in 1957.

Yep my 57 case is a WW2 issue,inside it has the bone glue and is embossed with K.B.621 and the usual pencilled number.

Yes, I agree with Dave - my 57er case (also have an early cased 57er KVK1 with the same type case) is most likely left over WW2 stock. Thye both have the raised pressed markings and horse/bone glue.
