Hello All,
Picked these beauties up recently. The Veteran typed the translations onto the packets (he did this with all his packeted items - couldn't fit the boxes into the typewriter though).
They are both maker marked '3', although it is interesting to note, and may just be coincidence, but the very poorly struck reverse, where the MM is barely visible, came in the LDO packet. My guess is the die was very worn and was at end of life, but, perhaps some of the lesser quality MM '3' pieces from Deumer were destined for "aftermarket," along with L/11 items specifically struck for the purpose?
Enjoy,
Eric
