Opinions on this odd ek2

[Carthin]

Hello, I found this ek2 at a local antiques store, but the reverse side appears to have been damaged? The leaves have been removed I believe. It's magnetic though, but it might still be a repro, I'm new to TR ek's so I don't feel comfortable authenticating on my own yet.

I haven't purchased it yet as I'd like some opinions first. Sorry about the poor pictures, I was using my phone at the time.

I'm on mobile so it's only letting me post one picture at a time, here's the last one.

Do you got a backside photo? The front looks ok to me.

Nothing wrong with this piece.

Even with the missing leaves on the back side? I haven't seen an ek2 without it before, although I also haven't seen all the variations for sure!

Hold up, I'm an idiot. WW2 ek2's normally don't have them.

1939 EK2 don't have oeakleaves on the reverse side,
Your cross is a original Deumer which can be found marked L/11 or 3, they also exist unmarked

Best regards,

I agree, Deumer's EK2
