Supposed Deumer EK1

[Friedrich]

Hi Gents,

I'm a little concerned about the inner beading and hinge on this supposed Deumer EK1. Anyone care to weigh in?

Thanks!

Hi Sanya,

Thanks you for your reply! This is what I have at the moment as it is not in my hands.

Anything you (or anyone else) can make out solely from these photos? I think the 1939 looks Deumer alright but appreciate any comments!

Thanks!

IMO, the cross shown is a mid-to-late-war Deumer. Beading is fine (typical) for this maker, IMO.
First came a schinkel version, then came the cross with the long tapering pin with the 'barrel' hinge and flat-wire catch, then the wide coke-bottle pin and heavier hinge (as shown in your photo(s).
Here is a photo of the cross with the long tapering pin and flat-wire catch...

Thank you, Robert! That's all it's supposed to be. Guess I have just been staring and comparing pictures for so long that i started seeing things (like overlapping beading)... Will post a full on when it arrives.

And nice full frosted Deumer you've got there! Lovely cross!
