Hi Valentino,

No, it's a standard zinc Deumer, Type 1.2.5. The Deumer and the Schwerin obverse designs are similar, both Type 1, which is why you confused them.

That one shows nice hand vaulting but unfortunately has damage to the setup as you can see.

Best regards,

hey Norm.. ok many thanks!

damage... you mean the missing hook at the top and the needlehook?

[Valentino]

is this realy zinc?

But ok.. if its really zinc its a great finish for a zinc piece, in my opinion.

Hi Valentino,

Just the missing top hook. The catch looks okay from these photos but in hand you can better judge the color of the solder. Sometimes there was lots of solder used which could obscure the catch plate.

Definitely zinc but I agree it's still an attractive piece with nice obverse finish.

Best regards,
