First arrival of 2018

Hi Guys,

I couldn't stop myself from overpaying for this small grouping with no history, mainly because I was intrigued by the mini.

Near as I can tell, this is a grouping of 3 Deumers and 2 S&L's. Early S&L IAB with solid hinge block, Early-mid S&L Minesweeper with the "filled hollow" hinge block and "o" mark, Deumer BWB, single mount Deumer EK2 and (I think) Deumer 4-piece mini.

Best regards,
---Norm

Here's the EK2. I suspected it was a Deumer from looking at past threads, and then (although I couldn't photograph it) by carefully prying the ribbon to the side I could see the "3" marking stamped into the ring.

Closeups of the mini. From Nigel and Brig's thread here I presume this too is a Deumer. One thing that puzzles me though is the lack of frosting on the reverse of just the IAB and MS minis although it's present on the EK2/BWB combo.

Best regards,
---Norm

Is there any way to tell if he joined Heer or KM first ? Interesting group, that's for sure.

Sorry Norm,

My fault, you bought them from me. To be honest considering these mint awards, I could not go lower but next time feel free to message me here and I will simply avoid eBay fee selling them in private, you can have at least 10% discount.

Hi Andrew,

Didn’t realize it was you! Great to know. Anyway, excellent service, and that certainly counts for something too.

Best regards,

No matter what they cost, they look wonderful. I'd love to have them in my collection.
