EK 1939 EK1 L/11 screwback!

[Motorhead]

Like Bills search for the Deschlers this was my personal hunt......a "Deumer" screwback! So easy it is to find a L/11 pinback,so difficult is it if you want to get one of these! When I was told that I would get this one I thought my luck would be hard to top-I was wrong,it's the much harder to find variation without the box around the stamp! Another hole in my collection is filled...but now I'm looking for the other stamp variation-and...is there a screwback with the blob somewhere? It's dangerous,very dangerous to collect eKs!

Without the boxed L/11 too! Nice one!

Well,I have to step back......the unboxed stamp seems to be the normal one-I've done a research in all the internet forums and all

L/11 screwbacks have got this kind of stamping.Has someone got one with the boxed stamping?

Well, this is the first Deumer screwback I've seen, and was surprised not to see the mark in the box. So let me get this straight. Most, if not all screwbacks lacked the box, or at least what you've seen. If this be the case, then a boxed marked screwback would be one super rare bird. Most of the pinbacks, and all three of mine have boxed L/11 markings, and I find the unmarked L/11's pinbacks are a lot scarcer. So it leads me to ask, why would Deumer do their crosses that way. Was it a period run or something? Very Interesting!!

When I've done my research on the L/11 screwbacks I found only 5............including the one in my collection!I can't tell the reason why Deumer had stamped their crosses in several ways-and not to forget the "11" marked EKs,wich finally tourned out as Deumers,too!(One of these EKs with the straight pin+L/11 was sold by DN a while ago!!!) I've got two "unboxed" pinback Deumers in my collection-one with flat wire,the other with round wire catch.SoI only need the L/11 straight pin variation.......
