A Few Good EKs

[jwburchell]

As I begin to downsize my collection of many years, I've resurrected a few EKs that have been put-away for quite a while...prompted by the interest of a collector friend...so thought I'd share a couple of good ones here as well.

Here, a nice cased Godet EK1:

Here's another nice EK1 by KMST, nicely vaulted and with an unusual attachment device. Note also the silver mark.

And a lovely EK2 by "LW" in superb condition.

And another EK2, this one by KM and on a scarce ribbon.

Stunning John.

Those are some great crosses.
A cased Godet is always a treasure. The KMST is a terrific cross and
having it's second class version to go with it is a plus.

[Bernie Brule]

Are KM and KMST the same firm?

[streptile]

Are KM and KMST the same firm?

In my opinion, yes.

Your crosses are awesome, John.

[VtwinVince]

Wow, the Godet and KMST are real beauties

[gregM]

In my opinion, yes.

Your crosses are awesome, John.

I agree.

1870 EKs

Thanks for the comments. The enthusiastic response prompts me to dig deeper and further back into time. These 1870s haven't seen the light of day for quite some time. Note that the EK1 is marked "900" twice, on the pin and backplate, for silver content. Hope they meet with your approval.
