This one is looking for a home..The gotta have it now mentality kicked my butt today and I went EK nuts

Interesting to note that on both examples the soldered on pin has had the safety part of the catch removed so that the point is exposed.

I notice that also Patrick,,the point on mine has been bent upward

Here's another one.

Patrick,

A lot of pins from this period never had a safety hood on the end of the pin. This is quite normal for Third Reich style pins.

That could have led to field converted nipple piercings 50 years b4 there time

Great fotos guys!

Thanks Brett, thats something I never knew. If I ever decide to get a nipple pierced when drunk then I will insist that it is done with a field converted EK! That should see me right until I sober up!!

Im 1000 shure you will sober up in no time, if you get a nippel percing from any off those.

I bet the owner's real award piece EK1 is nice and minty somewhere, while this guy was worn into combat. I bet this salty one has some stories !!
