In my opinion the "Gebr. Godet" German Cross was made by Wilhelm Deumer.
I have believed this to be true for a couple years and my idea is based on a few things:

I have believed this to be true for a couple years and my idea is based on a few things:
- Deumer and Gebr. Godet had a working relationship, with Wolf Conze, owner of Wilhelm Deumer, owning a significant share of Gebr. Godet.
- Gebr. Godet did not in my opinion make most (or any) of their famous decorations, including the entire Iron Cross series, the German Eagle Order, and the Red Cross Decorations.
- Gebr. Godet's suppliers can often be determined by comparing the 21 or L/50 marks to the marks of the suppliers. the [21] mark of the DK looks like Deumer's L/11 or [L/11] mark.
- The Gebr. Godet DK construciton (e.g. rivets) is reminiscent of Deumer's construction techniques.
