Yet another item from the inherited collection. still working my way through sorting the good from the bad. Can you please let me know if these are original and if they are, do they belong together.
Many thanks

The box is certainly original, award correct for the box......yes, but there's alot of misinformation about this.

As it it goes these are paired so to speak.

Very nice, and unmessed or exchanged ones you don't see to often.

Guys. Do you see the same as i think i see ?
The guide mark for the small ring on EK2 frames. Do the "Russian hord" crosses have this mark ???

Cheers. Nice set by the way.

On my no mark on all 4 arms. Are we not hunting ghost here "Russian hord". Andy´s EK is not from that if it´s not badly stored. My one can be as it´s MINTY im shure any this stuff now modern scan´s will say all is war period Mayer. And yes the story can be OK, but that will make them war time. I do also in some way think this can be tru. Some one did find these un issued EK´s and then sold them.

I have no problems with the "Russian hord". Just found it interesting with that mark. We do not often see those.
Any EK2 with 26 on the ring ?

Cheers.
