Oaks are very detailed and refined, the core and paint job is simply immaculate ...

Hi Mathijs! 3 weeks!!!!That must have seemed like forever
Well, it was certainly worth the wait Another fantastic early RK for your collection, no matter how many of these i see, i never get tired of looking at them, always great quality, with a high standard of finish!!
Do you think this one was worn , or always kept in its case?? the ribbon suspender looks like it might have seen some wear, but the cross itself looks pretty minty, not that it makes much difference wether it was worn or not, as it seems some vets wore them, others kept them cased, and some had more than one!!
Any idea who it belonged to Mathijs????
Anyway...a super RK, another one to be proud of!!!!
Congrats

I'll start with two items I got real dirt cheap ... lucky eBay strike ... !!!

First up this lovely early, but unmarked, EK1 made by Deumer ...

[Matthieu]

And the earliest possible Silver PAB you could find ... in near mint condition also .
.
Interesting to see the badge is slightly vaulted as well ...

[Matthieu]

Also added this honest, lovely, small group consisting of :

* S&L made DKiG
* S&L made EK1
* Stick pin ( with wonderful detail to it )

[Matthieu]

And again, I could not resist another postwar Souval RK ( marked L/58 ) ... especially with the veteran connection in mind ...

[Matthieu]

I know it does not really belong in this section, but I cant resist it ...

[Matthieu]

Last details ...

WOW!!!! i think i've just overdosed on 57ers.........eusa_dance.gif
What a great days haul Mathijs!!!!!!!party0049.gif
All top notch pieces, and i know the Souval does'nt really belong in the 57 section, but what the hell, it could well have been owned by a vet who wore it alongside his 57ers?? who knows????
Thanks for brightening up my day

My first time looking at post-'45 awards and I must say I am thoroughly impressed.
I'll be visiting this forum in the future.
Best regards,
