Come on boys! I'd like to learn about when, why etc. the 1st. pattern went from slightly dished to flat......
Why the diversion regarding cases....as there has never been a certain 'type' actually traced to a certain manufacturer!
The thread started out about the award and not the container
So, again why the difference in the back of the stamping?Regards,

Bob,
I simply disagree that oakleaves only came in the crossed line boxes or that swords only came in the rounded line boxes. I also disagree with the statement that they could have been mixed up. The slit in the cases is different for the two devices based on the length of the jump ring. Since the slit is made prior to covering the base, if someone attempts to make an oakleaves case a swords case, it is obvious. Like you, my opinion is based on experience of buying numerous examples over the years. The styles I've encountered are:
Style similar to the case for Diamonds. Encountered with L/50 sets of swords.
Style with line impressed on the lid and rounded in corners. This also has impressed lines around the sides of the case, and a white waffle lining on the interior lid. Encountered with both devices marked L/50.
Style with line impressed on the lid and rounded at the corners. The interior lid lining is the grey/silver waffle material. Encountered with both devices marked 21.

Style with 4 lines impressed on the lid and crossed in the corners. The interior lid lining is the grey/silver waffle material. Encountered with both devices marked 21.

Dave,

The diversion into cases started when a statement was made referencing cases. Since it was posted in this thread why not discuss it here?Comment

Spot-on Dave, keep thre thread on the rails!
Here are a couple of shots side-on of this L/50 set to try to give an idea of the extent of the curvature, I have tried to mimic the angle used by Eric. The soldering of the ribbon loop to the concave surface is very neatly done with hardly any solder visible..........Last edited by Harry; 07-10-2007, 06:44 AM.Comment

Subtle is the word. A closer view on the soldering, it is hardly noticeable........Last edited by Harry; 07-10-2007, 06:44 AM.Comment

Hi Harry,Originally posted by Harry
I don`t see anything different between yours & mine. Even the tips of the blades are identical. The soldering is also very neat on mine; only patina has developed in the nooks & crannies. I think these are hard to photograph as a straight-on shot may give the illusion of a flat back. I can`t tell you how many times I have tried to catch a decent image only to scrap it & try again.
As you probally know, one of the tale-tell characteristics of the L/50 OL is the 8:00 flaw on the front left leaf. I don't think you can upgrade from your fantastic set! I appreciate you showing these as they are not seen very often!!
