Guest Darrell Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Peter,If you can jump at this one take it !!!It is an early '57 EK1 manufactured with WW2 Frames and a Reverse Pin assembly attributed from Wilhelm Deumer. Highly sought after and worth some pretty decent monies by many collectors (including me ) Edited July 20, 2006 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi Peter,Does he have any pictures of the catch from an angle (preferably looking along the pin from the bottom of the cross)? I'd swear that the catch is a Deumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I must say it does look like a Deumer,that catch seems to be their usual curly "pigs tail"...another pic of the catch will decide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Broadhurst Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 It is a Deumer , nice piece and sought after . I,ve just sold one with the maker mark . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Huh, with all the '57 stuff I handled... I thought S&L were the only authorized makers...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) Hi,Rick, S&L certainly seem to have been the main player from the 70s/80s onwards but they shared the early work with other WW2 firms like Deumer. I have a Deumer advert from a 1958 German publication specifically dealing with officially sanctioned BundesRepublic awards. There are 1957 EK1s that bear their WW2 L/11 marking and 1957 EK2s with "3" stamped rings - ie for their earlier 57er efforts they were using WW2 stock. Assmann were also active at some stage, as there are some marked examples of their work in circulation. Other WW2 manufacturers are also known to have produced early 57er awards.RegardsMikePS: I strongly agree with the other who have stated this is most likely an unmarked Deumer example.

joe campbell Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 mike-thanks for this interesting and useful pieceof information! any chance of scanning thatad?these pieces are truly getting the researchand attention they deserve. most of theinfo is a few paragraphs as an appendagein the few EK books that are out there(no offense, steve and gordon!! )joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Broadhurst Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 S & L was the main player in the 1957 market they produced every type of 1957 award from their inception right up to the shiny crap churned out recently .Deumer and Assman produced a few early awards awards mainly using wartime parts and usually maker marked these were by and large bought by the vets who wanted to wear them .

DavidM Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) HelloAs Grant and the others rightly state, this is a Deumer 57 EK. For comparision here are my two 57 Deumer marked EKs. The EK1 is marked L/11 and the EK2 is ring stamped '3'.Thanks to Grant for making these additions to my collection possible.Oh the pictures were taken using a flash so the items don't look quite as good as they do 'in the hand'.
