Deruelle Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi everybody I have this box since several years and it is this weekend I have taken photos and see that the inscription has the date 1914/15. What do you think about it ? Thanks for your comment. I show only the box, I have the cross to go with it. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 No problems with that, I have had a couple of old beaters... I assume they were made in 1915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 i have two of these cases, one with light blue interior and one with purple interior. both have "super-deluxe" high quality crosses in them. i will post images this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I knew I still had one somewhere... My thought is that some clever case maker thought it was going to be a 14-15 war... and made these... and on 31 December 1915 he thought "Bugger!" ... and on the 1st of jan 1916 he was making plain 1914 ones again... I cannot say which cross came with it... mixing and matching has been order of the day since the first collector got his hands on 2 cased crosses... mine is also blue velvet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) i finally got around to the two that i have, and i lied...the crosses are not "super deluxe" but they are super nice indeed! the first one with the blue lining is a heavily vaulted .935er (behind pin) and is superb---note the finishing of the pin here is the one with a purple lining---early flat cast core k.a.g. cross Edited January 31, 2021 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
