Looks like a S&L EK2 , .... the ring may be marked ....

Douglas

[Justin P]

Thanks Douglas

I no nothing about a S&L EK2.....but its good fun learning, it was brought as part of a grouping

I guess its imposible to tell if the maker matches the date of isue?


No mark on ring

[Douglas 5]

From what I can see - it would match that issue date .
Is the ring marked with a 4 , may not be easy to see .

Douglas

[Justin P]

Re checked the ring and still cant see anything, i will check tomorow in better day light

The Citation was signed by Otto Ottenbacher on the 13,11,40 ive made a post in the docs forum if u want to have a look. The owner belonged to Panzer grenadier Grossdeutschland

Regards

You need a good magnifying glass . One of these 2 types of '4' to look for , if it is marked , not all are .
Douglas

[Justin P]

No magnifying glass yet

I've tryed to get a close up of a mark on ring?

Picture did not take last post .
On top is the fat -dimple- 4 that barely fits on the ring , that was replaced soon
with the small skinny 4 , for the rest of the war . Note: 4 can face in all directions .
