All good pieces ... as you might know, the KC with OLS is the earliest version out there.

The DKiG and EK1 are early-mid production pieces.

Thank you

Is the KC a so called S&L-type B-frame 1. Pattern?

Correct, 1st pattern "B" frame with undrilled loop eye, magnetic core.
Big chance the OLS has a small "o" mark on the back ?
Case and ribbon also look good to me.

Case KC & DK

Cannot find an O mark, maybe under the solder of the loop!
Some pictures of the cases:

Hello again Henk!!!
You really do have a great set there!!!
Earliest 1st pattern RK with the un-finished loop eye, great OLS, earliest type of case, with bevelled bottom edge....
DK, with the slightly later (but not much) 2nd style pin and early hinge-less case with the pin holding the inner tray in place....
And a fine EK1 from the same date as the DK!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!!

Hello again Nigel,

Thank you very much for the detailed description
I am glad you like them!

The OLS clearly has the cross guard flaw (left hand upper), present. Super cross

Can someone help me out with a value for this S&L KC with Oaks and Swords and case?

[bytown]

Value and what some one is willing to pay for it are 2 different things.

Dealer price or collector to collector.

I would probably pay between 1000 to 1250 Euros for the set.

Dealer price probably around 1500 Euros if not more.

I think that's a bit steep going above 1K .... those are Schickle prices .

I'm more around 650-800 Euro for the set.

Just opinions but I still think more from what I see dealers charging.

If I saw this set listed at 650 I would buy it even though I have one just like it.

650-800 Euros for such a set is way too low in my opinion. That’s wishful thinking.
A dealer price around 1500 euros sounds much more realistic.

Thanks for your opinions. At least I now have a price indication
