I wanted the box!

[CRBeery]

I recently bought this set. The cross is nice but definitely post WW1. It is not a variant that I own so I am happy to add it to the collection.

But... like a little kid, I just wanted to play with the box!

I like these Schiebe-Etuis as well.

Well, it is a Godet Zweitstück, so it ain't too bad.

[VtwinVince]

Agreed, with the flat enamel. I have one of these with crown.

But look at the box! It has the number 1 on it. I have only seen a very few boxes for MVK1X crosses. It’s worth more than the cross.

I'm not one for boxes of documents. I'd never take a tattoo, but if I did it would most likely be the Brad Pitt quote ''What's in the box?"

But, given the circumstances and the rarity of the MVK1 in all it's classes, I understand your joy.

Kind regards, Laurentius

I’m particularly interested in cased awards. My dream collection would be “ One on a medal bar, one in a box.”

[VtwinVince]

Hah, I didn't even notice that it's for a BMVK1, never seen one in this type before.

Congratulations on the box it is always wonderful to find that one piece for your collection.

can you show the cross, please.  I've never seen a 20's Godet like this.
