I'm not so sure that case is period, looks a lot like the 1916 type case, although the cross on the outside of the lid appears to be earlier. Could we see more photos of the case?

Hello,

For the direct comparison an early case for an EK I 1914 and one of 1870.

The differences are clear to see. If one knows the differences, confusion is not possible.

Agreed, the differences are noted, many thanks for the information.

Andy, great cases! I really appreciate your posting the photos, and sorry for calling you Alex before. Did both cases come with crosses?

Hello,

Only the case for the EK II 1870 came original with the cross, but I sold it because the condition of the cross was too bad.

The case for the EK I 1870 is the latest addition for my collection. I received it last week. I was looking to for years to get an empty case for my mint Wagner EK I 1870.
