Cased EK1, L/11, up for review.....

[jt327gir]

Hey guys,

I have this stunningly beautiful, near-mint, cased Deumer EK1 marked L/11, which I acquired in a trade last weekend. I might want to sell it soon, but as this is the first cased EK1 I've ever owned, I'm not sure what the value is. There are plenty of photos to look at, and I'm sorry if some of them are a bit blurry (I used an iPhone 5s and the Olloclip macro lenses), but please look them over and let me know a value on this piece. I must say, this cross looks better in-hand - the edges have an absolutely bright, mirror-like finish, and the core finish is 100% intact.

Thanks!

Up first is an overall view of the cross itself, obverse and reverse.....

Close-up of the case hinge area - it is covered with the same material as the outer case is. I couldn't get an in-focus shot, sorry.....

Different view of the date and swastika. The small brown spot above the first 9 is just a piece of dust, and is not part of the finish.....

Eki looks very nice, but I have some doubts about case. It's better to post case in Cases and Packets Forum.

IMO fine cross and case
