Yes,here it is-but the date at the reverse isn't deep enough I think.... Obverse

And the last one-magnetic screwback

Next one is a magnetic pinback....

Gentlemen,a while ago I was the opinion only L/12 with the "crosshatching" are the real deal.Meanwhile it looks like we have minimum 2 variations of this maker.Here are my 3 Junckers in different variations. Micha Nr.1 is a nonmagnetic pinback

I'm fare away of having all makers in my little '39 EK2 collection,but compare it with a"15" marked cross by Friedrich Orth... Micha

No traces of other decals at the helmet.If there's something under the black paint it's impossible to see-the paint is very thick! Micha

I'm focused at iron crosses at the moment,but when a helmet like this one is crossing my way I can't resist This one is a good,clean and nice wartime M16 that was overpainted mattblack and the reissued to the Luftschutz.The chinstrap is missing but you can't win all the time.The sizestamp is very hard to see under the thick paint,but I can read ET64. The liner is a bit damaged and shows some traces of water.Hope you like it. Micha

One of them was sold by Baldes,worn but in good condition...unfortunately the backplate was missing! It was sold in a second! And not to me..... Micha

I've seen a Wagner with fangs,but never a Werner-I know there are Werners with screwback,but I've seen only a converted one(screwback to pinback) If someone has got one of these beauties,please share the pics with us! Micha

I'm sceptical,too.Enzo said also how the hallmarks have to look-A rhombus with a circle in it? that's something I've seen on an L/59 pinback with an additional "S".And at last-the iron cross wasn't a common award for austrians,so there are serious doubts by a large number of german EK collectors that R&N have made eKs at all! Maybe one day...... Micha

Well,if you read Enzos posting about austrian makers it's coming down that the fine EKs with the blued sheetmetal core are Rothe&Neffe-in this case I've got a few one.....but hey,I've got enough holes in my collectin to keep my busy the next decade! Micha
