Trev, that's a quick trigger finger...good job!

[George Stimson]

Here's an "L/11"- marked Deumer 1914 EK 1, for comparison purposes.

[George Stimson]

The reverse.

Yeah, I didn't notice myself how quick it was... just good timing.

By the way, George shows a Deumer with 44mm TR frames, and Eddie shows one made with 42mm Imperial-size frames. I think the 1914s were made with both sizes during the war, but it's possible the 42mm ones (Eddie's) were made up until 1940 only.

George,thank you for posting your example.
Trevor thank you for all the info.

So from what i understood,George example is WW1 version and mine much later remake for those who lost or need replacement of theirs,is that correct ?

Not quite. Neither was made during World War I. Yours was made between 1920-1945, but probably (in my opinion) between 1920-1940. George's was made between 1941-1945. Yours is almost certainly earlier.

Thanks again Trevor.
