help with an ek1

[vitts]

I stopped at my local antique store monday and the owner was excited to show me an EK1 he had just gotten.

I did not have my camera so I can not show a pick. It showed a lot of character in the details along with some ware. maker marked on the pin either L/27 or L37 it was quite worn. The problem I had with it is the 1939 was quite thin and flat unlike any I have ever seen. Can anyone help with a picture of a L/27 or L/37

Any help would be appreciated thank you frank v.

Could it be a L/21 maybe , the closest number . Known numbers go ......L/19, L/21 and jumps to L/50 from there ?

It could have been an L/21 it was on the pin and rather worn. what about the thin 1939 on it?

Although the LDO EKI list includes an L/24 for F. Zimmermann and an L/26 for Klein & Quenzer, I have never seen photos of either, Douglas.

can you go back and get some pictures of this ek1 for us another time?

Yes Robert ;
Did not include them as the list I have shows them as reserved/applied for them , but no examples have surfaced yet . Others between 21 and 50 as well are :
L/22 -Glasser & Sons , ... L/23 - Julius Maurer , .... L/25 - AE Koechert , and another 7 L/ - Numbers in the 60,s .
