EK II class, Wilhelm Deumer?

[argan]

Hallo,

I'd like to know opinions about this EK II class; marked on the ring "3".
Original WW2 Wilhelm Deumer or not?

Thank you!

Hello there, imo the cross is not a Deumer but an original "27" Anton Schenkl's.
Cheers,

Hi!

Thank you for the reply!

The cross is marked "3" on the ring, and not "27" : how is it possbile? perhaps changed?

Thank you!

I would think one of two things has happened. The ring has been postwar stamped, or the ring has been changed/switched. The cross is certainly no Deumer. A search in the archives will show you what a true Deumer '3' ring stamp looks like.

Thank you Robert,

Looking with attention, the stamp appears very faint and hard to read for sure.
It might be also another number.. !

Anyway the ring seems to be original applied..hard to say.

Thank you for your reply,

Have a nice day!

Here are some photos I recovered from the archives.

Great Robert!

Thank you so much for your interest!

Anyway I confirm the little number on the ring is really hard to understand what it is..
Anyway you agree it is original WW2 A.Schenkl, isn't it?

thank you!

[Robert P.]

Yes, a '27' maker cross.

Hi Nick,

I tried to take a picture of the stamp, but my camera is not so "strong" to effect a macro picture where the stamp is visible..!

Sorry but it is really bad in picture..!

[argan]

this is the picture.. very bad quality!

Sorry!

I've taken photos through a magnifying glass before. Crude, but effective.

The photo you show above doesn't look anything like a Deumer '3' stamp. It looks like a freshly-stamped ring as well, no patina.

It shines for the flash.
Anyway I'll try to take a picture with the glass..

keep in touch!
