Need help whit this L/56

[meriksson]

Need to know if this is an after war L/56 or ?. Size is 44x44mm, it has not the same pin as the few pictuers i have found here. The condition is
not the best some repaint and hevy use, also the catch has been repaird. The frames are starting to open at one side at the top. And frame corners are sharp. Price tag is 90euro.

Dear Mikael,

Here is one Carsten Baldes sold a while ago. Looks like yours. I don´t know FOR SURE if this one pictured by Baldes is an original, just saved the pics assuming it is. I never saw one like it until now.

Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank
Yes they look similar, i have not seen that many L/56 for sale. Maybe this one is a not such a bad buy. 90 eur is not that much. Well any one
else have any opinions?. Before decide if i will send it back to Germany.

now.

I had DTiffin post some pics of my L/56 a while back.. if you do a search(L/56) you may still be able to find it...my catch looks a little different but i think that maybe it was bent out of shape...and i was told that mine was EK1 was OK....
