Very Interesting EK1 with Strange Number Design, but authentic Deumer Pinsetup!

[Thomas Durante]

So this piece could be a Deumer

I agree Andreas. It may or may not be Deumer, but I don't think we should discount them as a maker of this odd cross and hopefully more will pop up in the future to give us more clues.

Whether Deumer used two dies on their IABs, GABs & PABs can still be debated, and I agree with you that those could be considered speculation by some, but there are other badges that there is no question that Deumer used two different dies. Their LW ROAGs are just one. This is not speculation, it is 100% fact because they are marked. Their Paratrooper badges are another, again 100% fact. And Trevor confirms that Deumer used 2 different EK frames, so there is precedent here with Deumer of using multiple dies. If they used two, why not 3 or even 5?
