It could be an EK II by Deumer or maker 23.

Please make a close up from the numbers.

Grueni,

It looked to me to be possibly a '23' as well by the frame, but the core had a thinner swas than is usual with this maker. It looks more like the swas of a Zimmermann, but that would be very unlikely. BUT, I do have a numbered '23' with a Meybauer core! So, who knows? Closer photos of the date would be good to give it a positive ID. Here's my '23'/Meybauer...

Nice and original EK II by maker 23.

Here is my "23" EK II to compare.
