L/11 Marked EK 1 in Box - Opinions Needed

[Brad Posey]

Here is a really nice L/11 marked EK 1 in the box in excellent condition. I am not too familiar with WW I EKs issued in the TR period so I would like to post this here for opinions. I also put it in the TR area to see what they think.

This EK is 3 piece with magnetic core.The front is frosty with highly burnished frome edges. The back is frosty and marked L/11.

What I an unfamiliar with is the case that has no metal hinge or push button lid release.

All opinions are appreciated,

Brad

Couldn't agree more; the mint examples don't do it for me. Yours saw action while the other saw a drawer.

I have several others that saw plenty of action and will trade them all day long for any mint examples you have.

I personally think having a selection of both worn and mint pieces is a good idea. Number one it makes a better looking display and also gives you a better idea of what things looked like at the time when they "went off to fight the war".

Thanks for your comments,

Brad
