L/12 Kc Id Help Please

[Gerard/Relic Hunter]

Hi Guys, some guy emailed me some bad photos fo stuff he is selling, one piece was a KC, marked L/12 and has some other mark, "H.M.A." or H.M.Z. on it. I think this is a repro, has anyone seen this before?

Not an issue Junker. These were made for export post-war. I think they are mentioned in one of Williamson's books.

That is a fake.

Hi Gerald,

Look in GW`s IC of 1939 pg.470. He writes HMA mark was the logo of a U.S. firm which imported these from Germany as high quality restrikes.
The feature that I focus upon at first glance is the dipping ring into the frame.
Here is an image of a generic 800 L/12 marks & ring.
