Hello das Reich,

Ek in set 1 is crap
In set 2 I would like to have a little bit better photographes.

Best Franki

[Das Reich]

[Das Reich]

you might be right. i pushed it as far as maybe 80, but ko sounds on the money.

[Das Reich]

as requested, im adding more pics of the second one posted yesterday. however, this time i added pics of another one i purchased from another forum member for verification also. the second one, as you can all see is in superb condition, and is not maker marked. once again, all comments welcomed.

needing just a coup de grace on this one. it was my feeling that the swastica on an ek i received from a fellow forum member was a bit too small. so far another member have sort of confirmed my suspicions. any other opinions?

[Das Reich]
