Early Cased 1957 EK1 (w/ WW2 Etui)

[Darrell]

Made this recent purchase strickly for the Early 1957 EK1 cross and made a bonus discovery on the case. Upon removing the insert, discovered that the Case had the WW2 Markings of 621 KB (Passed Blacklight Test as well). I was assuming the case was Post War Production.

Congratulation!

It's a nice early EK I with a rare hinge and pin system.
The case is very nice, too.

Darrell, nice set! Is this the same one that Philip had recently?

Darrell, nice set! Is this the same one that Philip had recently?

George yes it was. For what these early 57 pieces are now going for, and considering the case is WW2 stock, I figured 85 Euro was a pretty decent price

Yeah, that was a steal, man. Good bargain catch!
