    Now what have we got here?

    Some of you might remember a similar thread in the Crosses of the Wehrmacht section a few months back.. Well, here we are again. I've been telling some of you that i have had a dry summer with no additions to my collection. That changed two weeks ago. I've been holding back since i wanted to have some fun in the process. The case you see now is the result of hard work done by me, my dad and a skilled friend of mine. The case is made of Teak, witch is the most expensive wood available here and i think that we can agree that it's worth every cent what it cost. As you can see there is a poll with plenty alternatives all more or less propable. So i leave it to you. What does this beautifull result of professional craftmanship contain? I shall reveal the truth once there are enough results in the poll and otherwise.

    Close?

          I've never seen a WOODEN German box for an AWARD.

          I suspect some sort of trick here.
          No Trick, Rick. Its selfmade!

            Look at the wood grain! That Teak wood is beautiful!

            OK, I'll fall for the game here . . . knowing Antti from the forum here, I'd be betting that this is a beautiful case made especially for the 1870 EK, series!

            Yeah, that's it!! It's got to be 1870's EK's . . .

            Anyone else have a guess? This is fun!

              It looks to me as if that's the sort of box everyone would like to keep his 3rd grade running medal for 5th place in.

              Or a printout of Iron Cross stastistics.

                        I have some inside information and I am sure this is his new case for his wacky tobacco. Antti told me that all his 2nd class EK's start to look RK's after having one joint....cheaper way to get RK...

                              I know the ribbon is missing, but is that one of the rarest decorations of the Third Reich - Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaube und Hamster?
