EK1 Godet L/50

[Steve Campbell]

Well it's certainly not an RK, those things are completly out of my league.

Hi!

The crosses from Godet became very expensive. In one of the last updates Niemann sold an 2nd class for 150 €.
I'm happy to own one EK 2 mm21 because i don't want to pay these new "hardcoreprices".

Niiiiice...

I think the 21 marked versions, especially in an EK2 may be even harder to find.

I think you're right.

It was really much luck that I got the IC 2nd class mm21. In a small antique shop which I only found because i had gotten lost, 5 iron crosses 2. Class were in the offer and i couldn't believe my luck as i saw the maker mark of Godet.

I white myself that it sounds like a fairy tale, but it was happened really in the way as I wrote.
That was one of the rare lucky days in a collectors life.

That's how it often happens and what makes this hobby so interesting.

[Jono]

Yeah, who am I kidding? And to make matters worse, one of those items is my most expensive single purchase yet, so I'm getting worse. And rarely do my packages arrive with just one item anymore. I need help.

I swear this hobby is an addiction. I am always thinking about how much spare cash i have and what i will buy next. We need a rehab place for people like us

[Steve Campbell]

Yes Jono you just said it all.

I've never seen this pin set up before on a WWII Godet. Must be very early, especially being marked 21. Looks more like the WWI pin. Very nice!

[Steve Campbell]

If it was very early, wouldn't it be unmarked?

Exactly.

There has been an influx of '21' marked EKII's lately and say what you like, I'm not comfortable with them, this EK1 included.

I know when most people say 'not comfortable with' or 'this isn't one I would have in my collection' usually means. Interesting!
