Hauptmann Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi all,Here's my Imperial 1914 IC 1st Class. Nothing fancy... that I know of. No makers marks that I can find. No case. Don't know if it belonged to anybody famous. But I love it! Thanks for looking, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Looks like an unmarked 'KO' to me...Q'est que c'est "KO"? I'm being lazy as my book is down in the bunker and I'm too tired at this point to trudge down there. And is this a "good" thing? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 HelloA very nice, classic KO EK1. Thanks for showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi David,You're very welcome! Love doing so. Some of these things haven't had one folks admiring them since the late 80's and for someone that loves "Show and Tell" as much as I always have it's been rather frustrating. I'm having a blast with all this.I just can't thank you enough for having me... and for putting up with my "twenty year" fetish. Many thanks!

Mike Dwyer Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Dan,A very, very nice EK1. I just bought my very first EK1, courtesy of Glenn R. It's a real beauty. It's marked 935, but no maker's mark anywhere.(Photos made by Glenn R). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Mike,Thanks for sharing and for the compliment. A real beauty you have there! Does it have a bit of convex shape to it? Wasn't sure if it was that or just the pics. If so I think that adds even more to it. Great piece.Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I was really aware of that when I purchased it. It was a very pleasant surpise when I unwrapped it!

Hauptmann Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi Mike,I can well imagine. Great find! It's a beautiful piece and that is definitely the icing on the cake. One of these days I'd love a convex as well as a screwback or one of the other odd attachments I've seen on here. But I fear unless Ed McMahon hurries up and brings me a check I may be out of luck in that department... but one never knows. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's mine-painted core,convex......ObverseI've looked at my cross and I had a friend look at it and I'm not really sure if the core is blued or not. It is most certainly a very, very fine paint job if it's not blued because it's impossible to see any line or defects in the blackness. Even around the crown, W, and 1914 it is very crisp.Mike Edited April 17, 2006 by Mike Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi all,Decided to do scans of my WWI IC 1st I'd started this thread with. In doing so I discovered a makers mark I'd not seen before. My eyes must be doing worse than I thought. Anyhow did the best scans I could so hoping perhaps this can be ID'd.
