Hello gents,

Thanks a lot for help!

The Deumer EK is a beauty it's even got the harder to find makers mark.

Compare your '62' K&O KVKI to this one...

Thank you for the link. Do you mean these small differencies mean my KVK is bad?
I am not so experienced in this area of collecting...If my KVK is good, does the case match this cross?
Thank you very much for your help.

[Dedman]

Please, no one can help me with that KVK?

The cross is good, yes.

The case, I am not schooled in enough to say if it matches the cross. Perhaps someone with answer this for you.

The KVK is good and the case is typical for this maker.

Agree with the other gents about the KVK1. Good mm62 Kerbach & Osterhelt cross, no problems here

The case looks okay too. It's a late war model - no push button. If you want to be 100% sure, carefully lift the inlay out and post a pic of what's undereath.

There are marked Kerbach & Osterhelt cases out there, see below, so your cross and case has been brought together.

Btw, believe the inlay in your EK1 case has a wrong colour. Usually the inlay in EK1 cases are white/light and KVK1 ones are black.

Thank you gents for all your input.

According to my research, you are right in general, but IMO this is just a variation, which not necessarily means that inlay was replaced etc.

In the thread is mentioned LDO cases and I believe that's correct, have some on files.

I wonder still though about your EK1 case. Usually the inlay is a tight fit but in the first pic in "e" there's air between the inlay and the case?
