True, I reckon the novelty of looking at one WB would soon wear off compared to the joy of a full EK collection. Imagine being able to carry your entire collection around in your pocket?

if you wore combats you might manage it

That RZM mark on the DAK looks like it may have done the trick if someone may have bought it for $250 but there is a lot of people out there with more money than sense .
If i was thinking of spending money like that I would be posting on here for a thumbs up or down.
I wish I had plenty of cash to Sam.
And Nick I think it would break your heart if you got rid of all your EKs even if was for such a rare wound badge.

You are probably right there Rod, but I have seriously often contemplated selling them for an RK !!

Just get a 57er RK and keep the EK collection.

[Woolgar]

Nice !!!

Sadly I only do TR. A bit short sighted of me maybe as the quality of 57's and WW1's are outstanding

No don’t do it ! I would rather have a lot of interesting things than just one or two very interesting things. You wouldn’t be able to call it a collection. You might get your premium bonds up sometime.

early ones maybe but after 70s they're not brilliant

Depends what you have , my S and L Micro 800 made in the early 80's still compares quite well to my original one !!

valid point ill re-phrase 57ers that aren't made by S & L after 70s have poorer quality

forgot to say your S&L rk is beutyiful

[Glenn66]

The thing about the early 57ers is that they were more likely to have been bought and worn by vets than the later made, collecter editions.

Hence the high cost of the 1st pattern core RKs compared to the 2nd. Mine cost me a hair under $1000 and is the single most expensive award I own even against my TR pieces! Go figure!
