Another Cased Deumer EK1

[Nigel N]

Hi guys, i really only try to find variants i have'nt got, either the cross or case, so i should'nt really have bought this one, as i have a few similar crosses, and one in an identical case, but when i saw it, i could'nt resist!!!
The case is another converted wartime leftover, this time a KVK1 without swords, it has had two layers of paper covering the original stencilled KVK, a small circular piece, and on top of that, a full piece covering all the lid!
It also has a replacement piece over the hinge, which is magnetic, the catch too...001.JPG

A couple of views inside the case, with the tray removed, no markings apart from some pencilled numbers...

The cross itself is a really nice, early, unmarked Deumer, with a highly burnished frame, and a nice looking matt black core with some veining and a couple of rust spots....

The reverse has the usual hardware, with the early form of wide hingeblock.......017.JPG

Yes indeed old friend! Sometimes, ya just gotta pull that trigger!

I like this one as I do all your crosses.That's a really nice case too! I have ZERO EK cases in my small colection. Always wanted one, just hasn't happened...yet.

I really like the veining in the paint. Nice to see that! Does the paint look like semi-matte. Like just a slight bit of gloss and not the usual flat. matte, or is it just my old eyes?

Another nice addition EK King!

And another beautifull Deumer EK1

Your EK collection is growing like weed
I have no idea how many 1957 EK's have been made, but in this rate they will become very rare for us to find
