Gents, I have been offered this EK I and would very much value your opinion of it, please.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Good original Deumer, what's the number in the box under the catch?

**Scout** · 03-17-2012, 01:06 PM

Thanks for answer, Adrian.

I'll inquire as to the number.

I was offered these recently. A friend knows of my historic interest and asked whether I was interested in these, as one of his collegues wanted to sell. I have not actually handled the decoration(s), as the transaction is still in its infant state and via this mate acting as a 'buffer.' I'll ask though.

Buyer is asking 190£ for it. Is that fair market price?

I have never bought one, as I was afraid to be stuck with a fake.

**Adrian** · 03-17-2012, 01:20 PM

That's a little on the high side for me, more of a dealer's price rather than a private sale which I would expect to be more favourable.

**Scout** · 03-17-2012, 01:30 PM

Thanks. Appreciate it. I will make him an offer for several of the decorations for sale and that might make it possible to get a better ptice.

The number is a '3'

Nice Deumer

Nick

Thanks for the answers. I really appreciate the info.

I have received the Iron Cross.
It has a magnetic core, but it is impossible to see the number if any. I have been looking at it with a watchmakers loupe, but it looks like there is just the square for the number - maybe a smudge in there, which could be mistaken for a 3 as mentioned above. But I cant be sure and really dont want to clean the thing.
Any other leads, as to it being a Deumer?
