Hello Peter,
it´s surely a EK1 from Hymmen (L/53), there is a "outbreak in the stamp" therefore the "3" look´s a little bit indistinctly. Have a look to the frame, is typically Hymmen.


Please forgive me my english, but that´s what my translator told me

[Peter Wiking]

Yes the frame is not L/52. It is just the marking that looked a bit strange.

Cheers.
Peter

That's a Hymmen, alright, and the first screwback example I've ever seen. Nice find!

[Chet Sowersby]

That is a very nice find!

First one that I have seen as well. Very nice.

Sorry Peter,
can´t get better pictures today, perhaps tomorrow if the daylight is better

[George Stimson]

The Hymmen mark is often mistaken for "L/52." I have an EK 2 Spange that was sold to me as a Zimmermann "L52" but when I got it and took a close look it was really "L/53."
