Imperial EK I LDO MAKERS

[DonC]

Hello, All -

Just picked up a nice Imperial EKI that was made during the Third Reich era - ie, it has an LDO number. Is there any list of the makers of the WWI EKI through the LDO?

Thanks!

Don

I have an "L59" and I've seen an "L/16." What's the mark on yours?

I have a 1914 screwback L/11 Deumer that is slighty vaulted and made during the Third Reich

I have an L/54.

There are 17 LDO versions listed in Gordon's book on the 1939 EK1. Perhaps many of the 17 firms manufactured the 1914 EK1 as well since they were in the business of making commercial copies. The frame and pin construction would be exactly the same - only the core would have to be produced seperately.

We should try to put together a list of examples that we have held and/or seen.
