Black/white base

[Allan P.]

Has anyone any thought's as to why some EK case's have white base's and some black?

Are black ones left over from WW1?

Are they just simply manufactuers varients?

I did think that black base's were, perhaps, for posthumous awards.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Hi Big Al

A UP MATE , i asked the same question a long time ago , and MARCUS is the man for this , think he is from the uk , he has some interesting theorys ,
Now i have seen a few i think the black bases could have been just a case of "****" we have ran out of white bases , "i know" lets use a KVK base , because comparing them they are the same , I had a theory that maybee the reason was rank or regiment , but thats just a guess mate bit of luck Marcus will jump in hear , i believe he studie them on a wider scale , me i just buy them cos they look wicked , and the black ones make the right award shine.
nice talking to ya

regards

My 1914 ek1 case has a white base, so that has nothing to do with it.
