39' EK 1. Klasse rarity statistics

[George Stimson]

Do you want to add the one I have that was originally an EK 2?

[Blitz]

Now George.. ..That would be cheating, wouldn't it?

[George Stimson]

I don't know.... It is now an EK 1.... I have the doc....

[Blitz]

Oh allright, go ahead and add it.

[George Stimson]

Consider it added, then!

[Blitz]

Thank you.

Improved Post # 413 !

Attention : Annti and others involved with this statistcal chart !
Being new here , Post 413 of mine was done in a real rush as I had to leave .
Now after reading the charts more closely , my description is too basic . Accuracy and all detail is important for L59's as it seams to have the most variations from all EK 1's .
For this reason I would like to admend that post with proper details :

Uncased now, dobble struck L 59 maker mark. Original maker mark factory restruck - most of the first L59 polished out but still visable ! ...where the upright extra mark '~' was place after the 9 !

EK has a flat coke bottle pin , magnetic core , flat 3 and 1/8" - VAULTED and main body on the back stamped with the most commonly found extra mark '~' > just infront of the L59 !
Fine vertical 'roller marks' on the metal surface. Additionaly inside (=bottom) of the pin there is a longated - very deep - stamped 'Diamond" mark on it as well .
Layout of the L59 is vertical on mine..... in position from 6 to 12 o'clock with the '~' mark close infront of the 'L' !
The round C hook opens to the right . Interesting to see a time line of these added ( inspection ?, proof ? ) marks . According to the document issued Dec 1939 , so made in 39 with the '~' mark and the other marks , I assume ,followed later . Any documents with the other L 59 posted here with the squere, dots and circle ? May need to start a seperate thread .
Sorry having to post this correcting, will be more carefull in future .

Sincerly Douglas
