Yes, sir.

You will see all my crosses photographed on the back of the same chinchilla blankie.

Thank you. Just tryin' to keep up standards around here.

Beautiful cased and boxed cross - Congrats - Likely one of your favourites, yes ?

Yes it is. Hard to find them like this and I did have to scour the countryside for awhile. This one came out of Switzerland for a price that was probably not TOO bad, but when you find 'em like this you pay up or they're gone. At any rate, I'm happy to add it!

In the photo, you can see that applied frosting, but in hand it's much more pronounced and an amazing feature of this EK.

I had one in this condition by maker '65' back in 1980/81 - sans the
cardboard box. Like a dolt, I sold it.........!
