    3. Klein & Quenzer
    4. C.E. Juncker

          I am suprised that I am not getting any responses here. I thought we had some real EK fans on the forum.....maybe not?

            Hey John,

            Again, I think Mads and I have the same tastes, , but I really love em all when they are marked and in good condition. My favorite (that I own) is a Zimmerman. It's minty and has a flawless core. But, you know how it is, the next sweet one to come along could bump her out! There is no fedelity in this hobby!!

              For me, the EKs that make my mouth water are:

              Fritz Zimmermann #6
              C.F. Zimmermann #20 L/52 (especially those double stamped ones)
              and of course, the K&Q 65s
              Interested in candid/private Hitler, KIA, and Holocaust photos. Also any AH related memorabilia--silverware, linen, crystal, china...
              All the best,
