Here's another interesting example of the same type of 16 mm mini, again from Giel's site. Again it has all the same characteristic surface flaws as Ron's and the others. This one nicely shows the Tombak base metal.
From this one, we can infer that only the exterior margins and the suspension loop are delineated by the trimming stamp whereas the internal cutouts are a separate hand-cut step. In this case, they took a short cut and simply stamped out circular cutouts rather than take the time to match the internal contours of the design.
Giel's sales description suggested this could be made by Deumer since it came in a lot with Deumer marked or attributed items. Not a firm attribution but certainly a good possibility.
