Non magnetic core? I'm a novice at these so wait for better opinions but IMO other than the different catch, it looks identical to an EK I Zweitstück (replacement cross) I purchased recently as part of a matched EK I/II set. I was told these were made by Wilhelm Deumer of Lüdenscheid

Nice cross!

Looks like a deumer to me as well!

See 1914 2nd pinback version.

I think it is a Deumer with an iron core, copper coated

Thanks everyone, the current owner states that the core is copper or brass.

The cross is a good Deumer.

But post it next time on the imperial sub forum

The owner has judge it just by eyes and not with a magnet.

Hi.
Nice Deumer cross!
This setup can be seen in the late 30s in the first frame and a very early Deumer crosses in 2nd variant frame!

Yes, but you probably know what I meant!
