Nice original Deumer EK2 and good wearer's copy TR-era EK1 almost certainly by C.F. Zimmermann.

[Mike Kenny]

Yes, the TR period 1914EK1 is the type I have seen associated with Zimmermann as well.

Look for a L/52 stamp somewhere on the back of EKI. It might be faint.

[ben bijker]

I agree on the ek2 being a Deumer.
But the pin of the ek1 can also be found on early Godet ek1, so is it L/50 or L/52???

Interesting EK1 .
The pin set seams to be a transitional version . It certainly has an early Godet pin which no longer needed a pin foot - on this now laying anchor that strangely has no real anchor base/foot . Do to the 'adopted' parts for the pin set .... and peticulary of the pin - I would speculate it was assembled by Godet . As far a I know - CF Zimmermann never used this pin .
I would think it is still befor the LDO marking had to be used and Andrei's EK1 would not be marked yet .

The EK2 does indeed look like a Deumer.
