    My Imperial EK's - 800 Marked

    Hi Everybody,

    I recently acquired these from a friend and collector, here on the little old Isle of Wight.

    I've never really strayed beyond the confines of Third Reich militaria, but have to say these are very nice pieces (IMHO), so much so that I thought I'd share them with you. So, please forgive my creeping into the Imperial Forum.

    First up is an 800 marked screwback.

    Thanks for looking.

    All the best,
    Toby.

        Here's the cased EK2 (800, CD); this is my favourite of the two:

                  They are beautiful, aren't they? It's almost enough to convince someone to seriously start collecting Imperial EKs!

                            --To someone's ears who hasn't had any new piece in well over a year, hearing this is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment! Thanks Tony!
                            Thought you were my friend, boo hoo...
                            --Nice crosses, by the way. You aren't really gonna keep 'em, are you Toby? Hint-hint-hint...
                            --Someone start a charity, quick!

                              Hi Everybody,

                              Thanks for all the kind comments and glad to hear you all like them. I am particularly taken with the EK2, superb patination, and I like the case too, so much more inviting than those shady looking later examples.

                              But ... in all seriousness, I must confess ultimately my allegiances are more to the Crosses with that funny little symbol in the centre.

                              All the best,
                              Toby.

                              PS Tony - I'm curious, if you're after Heather Locklear in a Pickelhaube (which is certainly a tempting vision), what's Kaiser dreaming of?
