Picture of the front is a bit too dark to see much of the details, but it does look like a 65... but then again, I am no expert

Hello Allan!

I do not think that it's a Deumer. The shape of the pin is not correct for Deumer. Also it looks like yours has a round wire 'c' catch which is not correct for Deumer. Here is an almost mint condition Deumer piece from my collection. Best regards! Tom Yanacek

Hi Allan,


don't know, but it is not a Deumer and it is not a K&Q (the numerals are different). Have to look at little deeper into it.

I was pretty sure it wasn't a Deumer, but for obvious reasons, see the attached photos, thought it must/should/might/could be.

So does it call the whole cartoned set into question?

Has the EK been replaced at some time?

Did Deumer sub contract and use other manufacturers EK?



Any suggestions?

Hope you can read the Deumer name on the base of the case.
