Meybauer EKI for show...

[Robert P.]

Not a mint piece, but I'm really starting to admire the older-looking awards dressed in their full patina, and even some green moss for character...

a nice cross as always Robert

Lovely patina

[Robert P.]

Thanks. A little alcohol and Q-tip removed the green 'growth' from Mars before it spread. Worked very nicely, and left the patina alone.

Very nice Robert
Thats exactly how I like my crosses to be.
Good condition with a 60 year old patina. And Maybauers are one of the nicest.
Also nice to see that the case is also marked.

BTW: After being gone for 6 months it's nice to see that you're still here!

Hi Luud!

Man, it's good to see you live on the forum again. Hang on, I've got some more detailed photos that will blow your socks off, my friend.

You might want to take your socks off first, or you'll lose them when they fly off...

I love the high relief Meybauer date...

[Robert P.]

About now you're wondering where those stinkin' socks went to, right...

Robert

[Robert P.]

See the green mold on that catch above? I'll bet you'll find some of that on your socks...

You didn't loose you're sence of humor.
But You're o so Lucky I can't post any pictures anymore.
Than I would show you some Maybauer variants.

You're socks would be somewhere near the moon

[Steinar]

good close ups, my socks are gone!!! me find them please

[Robert P.]

Ha!

Luud,

I do have one Meybauer variant core that's got even higher relief on the date and swasi. I have, I think, 7-8 Meybauers. It's the only variant like this. It also shows up in a marked '23' core!

L/13 EKII or left, '23' on right...

Steinar, find your socks, man!
