Lovely Bill,a nice "outie" Dave

Excellent study Marshall,very informative! Dave

I think it was in anyway,I'm pretty sure I supplied Gordon with some scans of it. Yes you are right,it will be well looked after! Dave

Beautiful K&Q with as Joe rightly says a "textbook" K&Q stovepipe finish!...Congratulations. Dave

I knew I shouldn't have sold it to Gordon ....ah well,it's gone to a good home Dave

Hello Marshall, Yes please do,I look forward to see your observations. Also the Prinzen is not mine,I borrowed it just to photograph....so it won't break my heart if it is fake Dave

Prinzen 1813 EK2 [attachmentid=16705] [attachmentid=16706] Prinzen with standard size 1914 EK2 [attachmentid=16707]

Triplets!!....congratulations Darrell mate Dave

How about this one? [attachmentid=16703] Both cross and packet are marked EW [attachmentid=16704] Outside of pack stamped with an EK. I shouldn't really be posting this because as of this morning the cross and packet now belong to Gordon....sorry mate Dave

Yep very nice and identical to mine. Dave [attachmentid=16513] [attachmentid=16514] [attachmentid=16515]

Found the pic! I hope the original owner of the photo doesn't mind me posting it here Dave [attachmentid=16499]

I've got a pic of a mint one on file somewhere,I'll see if I can find it. Have you a pic of your minty 20 Jim? Dave

Yep,like this one. Dave [attachmentid=16496]

Hello Stijn, The maker mark is KO( K?nigliches M?nzamt Orden)and is an Imperial era made cross. Cheers Dave [attachmentid=16372]

Very true Glenn,yet a lot of 20's seem to have rusty cores...I haven't seen many stone mint examples. Dave

The more beautiful Imperial EK's I see like these cased examples and Micha's Godet EK1,the further I get from the DARKSIDE ......I've even started collecting British WW1 Seriously though,great EK's! Dave

OMG,what a collection ...very impressive Mike! Dave

Very nice Joe and Don,I would love one of those 1914's to go with my '39! Dave [attachmentid=15222] [attachmentid=15223]

reverse

Only got a couple Deumer 3 marked black badge with matching 16mm stickpin marked L/11(sorry photos not very good) Dave

About wreaths not being identical etc,I think Robin Lumsden has a 20 marked Zimmermann piece with a Deschler/Godet type wreath. If you are reading this Robin,perhaps you could post a pic of your Zimmermann DKiG? Dave

This is an interesting discussion but please keep it civil and on topic Darrell,could you possibly post an obverse/reverse scan/photo of your DkiG please(if possible) Cheers Dave

Anybody have a clear photo of a dotted date DKiG?

Hello all, The dotted date Zimmermann DKiG's we know have been discussed on other forums but I wouldn't mind seeing what the opinions are on this forum. I do not own an example so cannot post pics of one but if anyone has a dotted date DKiG or a photo then please post it here. So,for or against?...if you think they are original wartime examples then please say why,if you think they are postwar then also please give your reasons. I think one of the big dealers has a dotted example for sale but I can't remember which one??...anybody know who is selling it? Cheers Dave
