Hi Nick,

Alois is the L/59, this one is only marked 59.....that is Louis Keller Oberstein
this one also lacks the strange control stamps of Rettenmaier.

I bought both the crosses ( 59 +15) + a 25x25cm cast iron 1914 which came from a dimanteled WW1 Monument that stood once in Kiel.
The big black EK-1914 is a cracker for any EK collector
will post some good pictures later...

Cheers Ger
