Cased ek2

[scottplen]

Is this a good cased example ? 

[BlackcowboyBS]

you are talking about the case? No that is not an original case for an IC2, even the inlet is a modern one( produced this century) at least imho. The case may be old, but was never intended to house an ic2, maybe for some jewellery or what ever.

I agree, does not conform to known originals.

I passed on it !

I don't see any red flags here and have to disagree with what BlackcowboyBS and VtwinVince said. It's a well know design, and all(!) of the craftsmanship and material looks period to me. I added some pictures of one I sold some years ago. It did have another inlay style and also had Friedrich Sedlatzek's signet imprinted in the lid, but other than that... actually, these cases, in my eyes, are to be considered the most convincing ones.

 

 

I hope we agree no 1914 2nd class cases were handed out officially, and all are private purchased additions?! At least to the best of my knowledge...
