EK2 with Oakleave Style Case

[david_iu]

Dear all, I would like your comments upon this EK2 with Oakleave Style Case recently offered: http://www.craiggottlieb.com/data/in...ss+Coffin+Case. I know it is expensive, but I think it is beautiful. I wonder whether this kind of case is rare. Kindly reply. Much appreciated.

I'm not sure it's possible to judge from those photos, but...

• I would post this in the Cases Forum.
• I would also ask the seller to test the case under blacklight (should not fluoresce) and the button and hinge with a magnet (should stick).
• Even if it passes those tests, this case is something I would want to hold in my hands to judge, so I would make sure you can return for a refund (less shipping) before buying.

With all those caveats, I think the case has a good chance of being good.

I think the description is very funny, though:

This outstanding medal set consists of a "4" marked Iron Cross by Steinhauer & Luck. This explains the use of an Oakleaves style box to house the presentation cross.
