EK1 Wächtler & Lange?

[mdn]

Thanks mike , but my photo does not show the patches very well like mortens . Adrian thinks this is due to handling but i have a marked 100 with the flat wire catch but it does not show any sign of it on that one , i am not saying adrian is wrong but it just seems strange & i wonder if anyone else who has a W&L with the round wire catch has similar marks ? Morten the catch shown on markus' is the same as mine from what i can see . P.S mike we are not the nation we once were as we are bending over backwards to accomadate everyone except our own !

Yes it looks pretty much the same - I think perhaps the one is a little more round in the construction, and more similar to the one I am thinking of buying, or is it just me?

Mike , is your mint W&L maker marked ? as my other one is marked 100 under the pin but it is upside down .

No it's not maker marked.

Here's a W&L unissued cased example. The LDO mark 100 is on the pin in this case and you have to use a magnifing glass to read it:




It was part of this grouping I bought awhile ago.

Which weapon are the clips for?

The magazines are for a Walther PP. Unfortunately the pistol itself wasn't among the items in this horde.

Are there more opinions out there on this piece?

I am now pretty convinced that it is genuine W&L, thanks to all the help from this forum, but I still have trouble seeing what details shows this, having compared with quiet a few W&L's on this page...

Here is my example for reference....

And the catch....

Thanks Adrian! The cross certainly looks like the one I'm buying except the catch is placed in reverse, but as far as I have learned that's no problem...

Just for further comparison, here's another W&L that I have, the catch is a flat wire variant.
