Hello,
I picked this up at a show a couple of weeks ago. I know it's just a story, but the dealer said he picked it up in a group from a WW1 US veteran, so there is a possibility that it came home with him shortly after the war.
I saw this thread showing one of these - http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ight=brass+ek2 - and believe mine is the same type as shown by the original poster and by Trevor. I'm definitely not an EK expert, but it just seems too finely detailed to be a postwar copy, though I can't say what it's exact use would have been. I'm just posting it for reference in the future and to see if there has been any more info since the last thread I could find.
Thank you,
Dale
