    L/11 Imperial EK 1 Questions

    Here are pictures of a really nice looking 1914 EK 1 marked L/11. Could you guys please take a look at it and give me your opinions. The surface is highly burnished on the front and frosty on the back. It is 3 piece with a magnetic core.

    The case is strange to me because it has no metal hinge or push button cover release.

    On the bottom below the pin catch you can see L/11 stamped inside a box.

    Thanks in advance for any comments.

    I do understand this is an Imperial cross, but I wanted to post it here since it was supposably made in the TR period.

    Here is the back.

              This cross could also have been produced in the years 1957 to 1960. Nice cross.

                Looks like a nice L/11 1914 EK1, If you dont go for it or want to sell it let me know, I have a TR 1914 EK2 marked L/11.... Very nice....

                  Thanks for the comments.

                  I am curious why Peter thinks this crosss could have been made 1957 - 1960? And if so why would it be marked L/11 and the construction be that of pre-45 crosses?

                  Thanks again for any info.

                    I'm with Peter.

                    A really nice 57 replacement version which looks like it's been made with 1939-45 parts and darn rare.

                    Grab it.

                    Regards

                    Chris

                      Deumer and Steinhauer & Lück used parts and tools from their wartime production to make decorations for veterans. The core paint is one reason why i think it is a 1957 to 1960 production. Third Reich crosses tend to have a more dry shine to the core paint. Do not worry. The cross is nice and perfectly legit. I would purchase it from you any day.

                        I had a mint 1957 EK1 by Deumer marked L/11 like this and apart from the core the cross was identical to this one.

                        The L/11 obverse of the cross is made from a left over 39-45 part as are the other parts of the cross and that's why it's well worth obtaining.

                        Regards ...

                          Thanks for the info. I already bought it, just wanted to get some opinions on it since it looked "mint" and that I normally only buy Pre TR period crosses.

                          Can anyone give me an estimation of what it is worth with case. I am just curious to see if I paid to much or too little....which would be a good thing.

                          Thanks again for all of the feedback,

                          Brad

                            I have seen these go for as high as 120 Euro without a case.

                              Soooo ... like S&L and Souval, how can we be sure a Deumer marked "anything" is wartime?
