    My humble EK-collection...

    This is my EK and EK-related collection.
    I bought the first cross (EK1914) when I was twelve years old, that’s thirteen years ago now.
    About two years ago, I had three EK’s in my large collection of medals and loads of other militaria-stuff, when I finally decided that collecting EK’s was going to be one of my primary collecting goals.
    The collection grew, and with inspiration and help from this excellent forum, this is what I got so far!

    Hope you will enjoy it!

    Bjoern Clausen

    All the EK1914 is unmarked, except the first (left-right) one witch is marked K.A.G., and the last one, witch is a WWII EK marked 'L/57'.

    The EK1 1939 at bottom is also unmarked. The EK2 to the left is marked '3'

      The first two EK2’s (top) are unmarked, the third is marked ‘24’, the forth has an acorn mark on the little ring and the last one is marked ‘76’.

      The EK11914 (bottom) is unmarked, the EK11939 screwback is a ‘L/18’ and the last one is marked ‘65’.
      The first EK21957 (bottom left) is the most common non-magnetic type, the other one is magnetic.

                    Very nice, thanks for sharing. Collecting EK's can become an addiction.

                            Thanks for all your comments. And yes, it’s VERY easy to get addicted.
                            I’m planning on buying a large displaycase for my collection. As you can see, there is not much space left on the plate witch the EK’s are mounted on now!

                            I’ve been trying to find a website witch sell these displaycases online. But I only managed to find some in the US.
                            Does anyone now a European dealer?

                            Thanks again for the comments.

                            Regards,

                              That’s a very nice collection Bjoern,

                              I've also started to get addicted to EK's lately particularly ones in mounted groups and EKI's.

                              Regards
                              Phil
