EK 1914 Stick pin maker question

[Tony]

I have a miniature EKI & II, well at least I think that's what they are, 2 EKs together on a stick pin. Anyway, they are both marked L/18 on the reverse so, can anyone tell me from when the L maker marks were used?

I know they must be 3rd Reich made but have no idea if they could be from the 30s or early 40s.

Thanks

Tony

Thanks very much. So an old soldier from the Great War bought this pin after 1941and it's still in a near new condition.
