Vaulted WWI EKI with Third reich style pin - Opinions?

[Anthony N]

After buying many TR EK's i've started to fall in love with the EKI in general.
This one took my eye as a TR collector, it's vaulted, unmarked but has a TR style pin.
I would love some opinions, i thought it to be a Third reich manufacture piece but the seller says not.
Firstly i'd like to know that it's not a fake & secondly any maker info or period of manufacture.
Thank you for your time, Anthony

It's an original EK I by Deumer.
These type of EK I used the distinctive Deumer hinge/pin system and the Schinkel design.

production: 1939 - 1945

There are 1914 Deumer EK I in standard Third Reich frame design with the same hinge and pin system, too. IMO most of them are post war productions by Deumer.

Thanks guys, i appreciate your time & the speed of the answers!
I thought it was TR Manufacture but the seller was convinced it wasn't (despite the pin) as he said it was too thin.
Well it's being added to my collection then. I think it was the Schinkel design that attracted me to it.
