I would like to have your opinion about this magnetic IK 1.Kl.
It is marked L/11 (Wilhelm Deumer?)

That one looks good to be. Nice LDO marked 1914 made during the Third Reich era. It looks like the one I show here. Has the TR style frosting, the makers mark and hardware look good. Compare:

Here's the maker mark in the box. Your's compares favourably to mine.

My teacher told me once: “If you want to learn ask questions!”
OK I know almost nothing about these crosses.

What do you mean by LDO “marked 1914 made during the Third Reich era”?

Nothing wrong with asking questions

The simple answer is that your cross is a 1914 dated cross
that was made most likely after 1941. The L11 makers mark
would idicate it was after the LDO regulations took effect (1941????)
and that it was most likely a private purchace item, not an official
award cross. Which makes sense seeing it is a 1914 cross.

The guys in the TR forum would be able to give you a better understanding of the LDO system.

I hope this helps some.
