Another EKI L/II marked Pin

[CMSgt]

A dealer has this EKI L/II for sale. These are the only pictures I can get. The pin assemble looks like a Deumer, but my concern is the front, looks like beading on the 9 oclock arm. Would appreciate your comments. Thanks Jim

Original Deumer EK I
It's a rare version, because it's very hard to find a piece with a maker's mark on pin.

Hi Jim,

Later Deumers are found with bad bead flaws running horizontally across the top arm. The wear to your 9:00 arm is abnormal. It would be good to see better photos of the wear if possible, to determine the extent of the damage. The pin stamp can be found running 90 degrees out from this as well...

Here is what you see on later war Deumers...
