Hello Collector's!
About two years ago I purchased a sales sample board consisting of 15 pieces, all produced by Wilhelm Deumer. The best pieces on the board were a 1939 Spange to the 1914 EKI, and a 1939 EKI. Although I would have loved to keep the board intact, I ended up dismantling it for two reasons.
1) The board had been folded in two places, and had split at the folds. It was in terrible shape and would have eventually come apart.
2) I was very curious about the reverses, and wanted to study the pieces.
I sold 12 of the remaining pieces from the board and ended up getting the EK and Spange for free and then some. The only other piece I kept from the board was a bronze Austrian Occupation Medal that never had a silver finish applied.
(I initially thought it was a Czech Occupation Medal) The interesting thing about the occupation medal was that it had 'L/11' stamped on the medal rim bottom. I never saw an occupation medal marked in this manner. In fact I don't ever recall seeing an occupation medal marked on the suspension ring either. Anyway, here is the Spange.
