Hi Peter,

Try my thread EKII Deumer Pair - 1939 and 1957 and you will see my 1957 EKII by 'Deumer' with a '3' on the ring and die flaws.

I also have another early EKII which I will post pictures after the weekend if you are interested together with a cased 1957 EK1.

Regards ...

[Peter Wiking]

Nice pair for sure.

Thanks. Keep them coming

Date is very flat and difficult to capture. My battery is running low...not much time!

Rear

[Eric Stahlhut]

Here's the reverse as requested. Notice that the hinge has pleen placed off center. I would assume from the parts and the wear it was an earlier example.


Hope this helps,Peter!

Thanks alot Eric.

Hi,

4 crosses, all with steel (magnetic) cores;

top left - great detail, maker unknown to me, more typical 57 hinge/pin/catch.

top right - Deumer L/11 marked example - flatback. From an Oakleaves Generals estate (along with his 57 RK, an EK2, and a 57 RK/EK1/EK2 minicombo).

bottom left - unmarked Deumer factory vaulted screwback. I don't recall seeing another like it and I've heard/read some very experienced EK collectors say this type was never made - obviously not true!

bottom right - unmarked Deumer factory vaulted pinback.
