Translation Help - KVK OM and EK2 Packet Grouping

[dc9]

Hello All,

I received this packet grouping and wanted to share them as they are nicely marked, but, also wanted to seek assistance with the translations.

If anyone can decipher the script and offer a translation; I would appreciate it, as it will help with the planned display.

EK2 - Wilh. Deumer (name(?) on obverse)
OM - Friedrich Orth Wien
KVK 2.Kl. m/S August F. Richter KG Hamburg (script on reverse)


Thanks,

Eric

Gran and Gerdan,

Thank you for this great information! It will certainly enhance my display.

A quick search on "Zanzur" shows Jagdgeschwader 77 "Herz As" II. Gruppe was stationed there during this time.

It will be interesting to see if the name can be matched to this fighter group. I don't quite see "Alfred," but will see what I can find under Neumaier.

Thank you,

Eric
