Another cased 1914 EK 1

[EK Hunter]

Hello again all,

Here's another very nice cased 1914 EK 1 from my collection, maker marked S-W. I particularly like the design of the case with this set.

Very nice looking set.

Thanks for your feedback gregM.

With regard specifically to the case, is it more or less common than the case with my other EK 1 pictured below?

I'd welcome your opinion.

I agree, a nice cased S-W set.

The S-W etui is fairly common - and not specific to this maker, EK1s by many different makers can be found in this style case these days. If the paper hinge is intact, it would be much less common though, as they are normally found split and only held together by the white silk inner insert.

Either way, the other etui with the wider white border is much less common.

Regards
Mike
