Richard Gordon Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Here's something I've had for some time that I never got around to photographing. I couldn't say for sure if it's really for an EK1 but it does fit...just. Maybe for a prinzen or something else but for now this will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi Richard, I have seen these with the EK2 & EK1. I believe they were sold independent of the cross itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 OH yes, yours is in exceptional condition. You will rarely find it with all thelittle trim pieces intact like yours. very, very, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Here's mine. This came with an 800 Godet marked EK2. I believeit to be an after market purchased case as suggested above. Sadly only lacking the strap from the spike to the rear of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn R Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This is the cross it came with. Original length of silk ribbon and ring stamped "G 800" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Clearly 2 variations of a theme Rich. Yours has painted metalwork whereas mine has no traces of paint but the metal seems the same as that visible beneath the finish on yours The scarlet liner on yours looks superb whereas mine is black based with a coarse white upper lid lining.I have also seen these with the usual patriotic inscriptions on the inner lid.Nice piece Rich.!!

Richard Gordon Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Thanks for the compliments. I kind of thought you'd like it.@ Glenn : The 2 are virtually identical externally but as you mention except for the strap, painted metal and the spike is a different shape. Any signs that your's ever had the strap from spike to hinge?Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes, there was a strap as evidenced by the fact that the fabric is darker where the strap once was, although you can't see it from these pictures.Interesting that the wappen is the same design.

Daniel Murphy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Richard, Great case, the red lining makes it very distinctive and beautiful. The cross is not so bad either. Glenn, It is a shame it is damaged, but I have been wanting one of these for years. I would buy one even if it was in poor condition. Great case as well.Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
