Hello Ivan,
Nice to talk DKs again I know those marks esp. the 11 o.clock blob on the grey star, and look for it in good pieces. At the moment I only have one "20" and a "134" both have that feature; also the irregularities in the leafes and the dimple in the nine.
So, the wreath, the grey star, the hardware are all typical for a "20" light or heavy. The only deviation from the norm is the "L/52".
If it's a post war put-together, why the consistancy of early components. If it's an early original why "L/52" when the majority is stamped "20". Again who was the actual maker of those crosses, do we know it? If it was Zimmermann as we seem to assume it, than why not stamp some of the crosses "L/52" if they were meant to be sold to recepients on the market. After all we have "L/52" markings on EKs.
Now the "Gretchenfrage" would I buy it? Sure, but only if it came in a 100% attributed grouping
Best regards,
Albert
