My Imperial EK Collection

[leej11]

Thank all you guys for the great replies and I appologise for such a long intermission but Dion and I have been out on the hunt lately

[leej11]

Ok back to work. Next up we have a couple Sy Wagners. This first one I got recently replacing the one I had with the repaired catch. I think it may have been cleaned but it looks nice.

Next one has an early case. Unfortunately the push button is missing I think most collectors would agree that these early paper hinge cases are their favorites.

[leej11]

Now for some lovely "We" EKs. These are some favorites as well. This first one was being sold as an unmarked cross and I thought it might be a "FR" but when I recieved it I was still happy to see the "We" under the catch.

Maker mark. Might I add that these two crosses have two different cores.

[leej11]

The next one with the second core is cased and engraved. I LOVE engraved crosses and am always seeking them out

[leej11]

Etui, mark and engraving.

Now for a few Wagner & Sohn. I have 4 of these but I think there are only two different core types out of these four. Here's the first.

[leej11]

Here is another with a different core. Notice that even the makers marks are different.

he next two are both cased with carton.
