This is why I believe a vaulted EK is an EK Class I. Of course there can be an exeception, but thats is an exeption on what you see in majority! Do with it what you want but that is my point of vieuw......not a lot of words but what I see in the real..collects over years

Nice starter pack. Good to see what size of collection dares you to make general statements about Imperial EK minis. And now I see why they are what they are.
But don´t get me wrong. I am not trying to be sarcastic. When I had 13 minis, I also thought I had already eaten all wisdom of imperial mini world.

Miro, cudos to you for actually trying, but you're wasting your time. The concept "I believe what I want, the rest of you can hit the highway" is the gereral response you you'll receive (as can be noticed in the enclosed link).

Granted I'm not that well versed in Imp. minis, I focus on the TR. The stickpin combo features two 16mm EK's, something I've never encoutered in the TR version of EK1+EK2 (other than on fakes). Can you please give me some feedback?

Hi Peter,

Shortly said, if the reverse is correct, I wouldn´t have problem with this one. Evenly sized EK1/EK2 minis are nothing strange in imperial era, on stickpins as well as on buttonbacks. And 16 mm size is quite common as well. Stickpins were even bigger at the beginning (I had some 19 mm pieces, some say there are also 21 and even bigger stickpins) and they slowly got downsized to TR size (9 or even 6 mm). If you want to know more, please feel free to open a separate thread about this mini, it won´t be fair to steal this thread or divert it to imperial stickpins. And post there please also the reverse side.
Thanks in advance.

Excuse me, but generally I don´t like showing the collection as an argument in discussion. It looks to me very desperate step.

I´ve just asked Greg to post one nice miniature, that I have coincidentally found yesterday on internet. One-sided, apparently vaulted, straight mounted EK 1870 miniature, very similar to thread starter one, just with 25 oakleaves. Correct me if I am wrong, but 25 oaks were not awarded to EK1s
