My first Cased EKI

[50_CAL]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my first EKI, cased, maker marked 65. Once my display case is built I will be able to rightfully show her to the world. Until then, here are some pictures that Steve B took for the sale.

This EKI is even more special because it is my first. This baby is staying with me forever. Soon she will have more EKs to the family, but until then she must play with her EKII brothers and sisters.

Very nice EK1. Welcome to the addiction.

Yes ... it is a nasty habit .... soon you will be pushing the other half's stuff off the shelf to make room for your EKs

A very nice start Jake, and IMO the best K&Q the short top "3". And im shure this will only be the start off the addiction, i know .

I couldn't agree more about the short top "3". It was one of the reasons why I think K&Q make the best EKI.

And thanks for the comments everyone. She'll have company soon.....

[Okrach]

Very nice one

When I see such a purchase I am willing to buy one myslef... Unfortunately I am trying a new start with my wife (long story...) so such a option would ruin everything....

Damn... I think I'll switch to some drugs maybe...it will be cheaper

She just came in today while I was at football. We lost and I said to myself "the only way I will feel better is if my EK came in". Then there it is waiting for me. What a beauty. Thanks so much Steve!

Start looking for a HUGE case or safe to put them all in ... trust me .. it will be ALL of them in about 1-4 years Just ask George, he can't take one step in his house without stubbing his toe on one ...
