My 1870 EK1

[Marc Garlasco]

Here she is, ain't she sweet!!! Sold from Detlev Niemann to a collector a few months ago, then to Weitze, and for now she is mine!

I will have to rephoto the case as the pics of it are not clear.



Look at the HEIGHT!!!

Case

The hinge is very delicate paper. The rest of the case is in great condition and the deep purple flocking is superb!

VERY VERY NICE I really like the height ( thickness ) of the crown and date and W.

BTW- Great close up photos.

congratulations,
Greg

That's a great EK!!!!

The case is very similar to the purple based cases that we see with 1914 EK1s. This may help the idea (I think Rick V. said it once), that the cases like these that we see with WWI crosses are actually leftover stock from the FP era.
