Differences between Deumer and Zimmermann
in one of the threads you posted the links of, Robert, I found this:
I'm just referring to one of the threads, so this is more food for discussion here

Zimmermann needle (marked example)Comment

Here's a few pics I hope will help. I thought I had a Zimmerman but now it looks like I have another Deumer. The one I recieved yesterday will be referred to as Deumer 2. Here's the catch of Deumer 1.Comment

The catch of Deumer 2. I cannot open the pin on this one and don'r want to force it.Comment
-
Here's Deumer 1 with the pin open. This one doesn't open well and I don't think I'll try again.Comment
-
Understandable, don't force it! - can you get a shot of that view (the first one you posted in this thread, to see if the needle is rounded in that key area?

Deumer 1 hinge. If you compare the two hinges you will see they are attached differently, with one being upside down, or opposite of the other.Comment

Finally, here's my 2 Deumers side by side. Deumer 2 is on the left and Deumer 1 is on the right with the copper coating exposed on the date and swaz. I hope this helps.Comment

thanks for posting, Steve, Robert pointed it out pretty good, the lines on the hinge and the needle rounding in that marked area and the needle tip should give a good clue in order to determine if it's a Zimmermann or a Deumer.
