Holy Cow!
That's a rare theater made EKII for the crew of the SMS SEEADLER. Legend has it that some of the stranded sailors from the wrecked raider surfed between islands to make good their escape. Don't let the crudeness of these artifacts fool you. Graf von Luckner had a rye sense of humor. Unfortunately in an attempt to down play the propaganda coup these sailors caused when they returned to Germany the British government flooded the market with imitations in an attempt to devalue the originals.

Eric,
That's a nice picture of the old Graf. If you look very closely you will see the "Aloha" EKII directly under his regular EKII on the ribbon bar. Unfortunately the details are all but hidden
