Help w/ EK1

Hi Nick
the L/11 stamp on your EKI is the early type. The boxed L/11 was used after that one until end of war.
In the true Deumer marked some crosses on pin too, with the boxed L/11 (rare) and without box but different design (the rarest).

I have to correct myself... I was talking about war time EKs, but the boxed L/11 under the catch was used after the war and mod. '57 too.

Hi Fabri ,You are saying that any EK1 with the L/11 with no box are rare how rare?

Hello Chris,
EKIs with not boxed L/11 stamp under the catch are just less common, not hard to find on the market.
If you are talking about the not boxed L/11 stamp on pin, well it 's really rare, just seen 1-2 times at today.
