Brum hoard Friedrich Orth EK1

[fugpaw]

I've had a good couple of weeks collecting wise, an Assmann PAB, a boxed BWS IAB, Brum hoard cartoned and cased Orth EK1 and 2 ESP BWBs - all aquired via WAF. I'll post the other badges in the appropriate forums, but here goes with the Birmingham (Brum) hoard Friedrich Orth cartoned and cased EK1.

EK1 mm 15

I recently picked up a near mint mm 15 as well. When I first saw it, especially, the pin, my thought was....Floch. But it is isn't.

I live in the US. What is the "Brum Hoard". Was there a hoard of these like the Russinans has with the 26?

The Brum hoard is basically 10 pristine Orth EK1's that were found in Birmingham UK. The EK1's are cased and cartoned, thanks to evilmike I own 1 of them. There are several members of this forum who own others.
