Although they're not the best images, I'll post a couple of close-ups. The back four...

[Brian R]

The front three...

Thanks for looking!!

[Greg S]

WOW! Very nice! Those are some nice cross/case combos.

I am patiently waiting for them to turn up on the e-stand.

Just kidding, very nice collection Brian.

[Calvin Hall]

Yes, very nice.

Thanks for showing.

Hi Brian

Nice lot of EK's, do you have any pics of the reverse of the L/58?

Regards,

Neil

Hi Brian

Great lots of Cased EKI.

Thanks for the comments guys. I tried to add to the collection today by shooting for the L/19 on Detlev's site but, as expected, it was sold.

Neil- I have attached an image of the reverse of the L/58 below. This actually belongs to a small Navy group - a Matrosenobergefreiten. The group consists of the cased EK1, EK2 marked 23 with envelope and documents for both awards.

Brian,

Can you post a pic of the front of the L/58? I have an unmarked pinback that I suspect is a Souval and I'd like to compare.
Thanks,

George

EKII 1939 with a Faint Square Outline Around the Swastika

Hi Brian

It is seldom to see a EK with a faint square outline around the Swastika. I've got a similar one but it is a EKII, maker's marked "13".

Cheers

[George Stimson]

Yep, I think mine's a match.



And here's the back.

Beautiful collection of EKs..... There's something about that medal that fascinates collectors of every aspect of Third Reich collecting.
