Reverse and maker mark.

Here is a AWS screwback I got recently. The disc has some horrible green stuff on it I am tempted to clean off. I have never cleaned any of my pieces before because I am generally a purist but I find this disc to be too distracting!

More shots of reverse and maker mark.

Time for a short brake.

I hope you enjoy this thread so far because there's alot more to follow

I know my pics are not the best-that is an art I have not yet mastered

Bravo ! a magnificent collection Lee ! I think by specialising you have achieved a spectacular gathering of Crosses, have you a first class 1870 yet ? I have often thought of going down this road....and then something pops up and diverts me ! so I have ended up with a collection of allsorts !
Prost ! Steve.

Bravo ! a spectacular collection Lee ! I think by specialising and focusing on just Imperial EK's you have managed to locate and add some rare crosses, well done ! have you a 1st class 1870 yet ? I have often thought of such a venture, but then something else catches my eye (and wallet) and off I go down another avenue...........
Prost ! Steve.

Thanks Steve

I know what you mean. It is very hard to stay on track. I like to see a variety as well and am easily interested in alot of things. I do not own a 1870 EK1 yet and am currently saving and searching for one. There is a conflict of interest since I am now a dealer as well. I have to find and sell enough items to make a living off of as well as support this hobby. Unfortunatelly if I am going to buy a 1870 EK1 or 1813 EK2 I will have to let some things go

I do not have any CD 800 EK1s yet in my collection so DOV is next in line. I think these are some very nice crosses and I will enjoy hunting the other variants down

I have another of this same cross and a AWS pillowback, screwback in the States I cant wait to get a hold of next time Im there. Another shot of the reverse. What a beauty these are
