Round 3 EK2 question

[Marc Garlasco]

Just got a round 3 EK2. It is noticeably thicker than any EK2 I have ever had - is this a charachteristic of them?

See pics below.

Marc...

Yes....and same applies to the Round 3 EK1...a very chunky old affair, which freaked me out a bit at first as well.

Pictures?..

One the right is the standard EK2, left is round 3. I can not emphasize how MASSIVE the round 3 is. Very high, well defined date and hackenkreuz.

I can only claim swift typing during the Friday morning Niemann rush!

They also have a very low swaz. compared to beading. Regards Chris

[Marc Garlasco]

Chris,
Yes, but the beading almost looks large in comarison to the standard EK2. This is now my favorite of my EK2s, moreso than my mint frosted ones!

Marc,

It's my favorite EK2 also. I collect medal bars and it took a while to find one with a round three Regards Chris
