Show us Your Golden Finds

[redfaced]

I would like to start a post if I may. Looking at a post were a lucky collector found a spange in an antique shop has prompted to ask other members to post their golden finds. To me, such finds are what makes this hobby the best. Digging up a diamond is far more appealing (to me) than buying one from a jeweller.
I myself found a nice 1914 EKII in an old aspirin box in Poland, hardly Indiana Jones stuff but delightful.
I think this would make an interesting thread......
Maybe someone has found an RK in the attic??

What is it that makes this ekii worth over 300 Euros?

You beat me to it, but I was going to ask the same.

Did you buy it as a straight-arm ek2 or a schinkel-B type pherhaps??

When I look at the pics I see a regular ek2 with somewhat straighter arms, but nothing worth 300 Euro's ???

Reagrds,

Maybe he meant to say 30 Euros. I don't see any harm this thread being here. As long as it creates an interest.

It's Not a Medal, but ......

I purchased this 1-3/4" (45mm) silver schnapps cup at a flea market outside Dover Air Force Base (Delaware) in 1975 for $25.
