Ups, sorry Upside down

[George Stimson]

The EK looks okay. I dunno about the case though....

[Gerd Becker]

Yep, i had my doubts too. But i got it for the price of an uncased EK, so it doesn´t matter. But maybe there are more of these cases around? Anyone knows, what medal belongs to the case?

Thank you George

Yeep a normal nice K/Q , never seen that case before but the inprint looks like its for a cross in some type. It can well be for that EK.

No Mikael, no markings at all. The rims of the EK fit perfectly in that shape. I cannot get it out, without damaging it.

I won´t. I have just made a blacklight test and the white silk in the cover and hinge glows like hell. A sure sign of postwar in this case?

Thanks for the reply, Mikael.

Yeep if that "hinge" white cardbore around the bottom part glow and also the white fabric. Thats not good, and yes it is made after the war.

Mikael

Any way is a nice case to have the EK in
