Hymmen WB?

[Thomas Durante]

Hi guys,

This one was listed on Philipp Militarias site as an L/98, but looks more like a Hymmen L/53 to me, no?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

This indeed is a nice L/53 by Hymmen & Co.

Hi Tom

Yes that's L/53
I have seen multiple guesses on the blurry L/53 makers mark over the years


Cheers,
Ronny

I can only agree with Ronny! Have also seen a wast variation of interpetrations of them - L/58, L/39, L/63 etc etc etc al because of the squashed maker mark

Don't forget looks also someyimes like L/52

Thanks for the replies guys, and confirming my suspicion here.

Chris, you are right, it can sometimes look like L/52 Zimmermann. But the obverse has a different design, correct? And the mark is typically on the pin on Zimmermanns, correct?

Thanks

Tom

Absolutely right Tom! !
