Hi,

No doubt that your EK2 is a Steinhauer & Lück.
Here is an easy way to tell them apart, when there is no mark in the suspension ring or the images are bad.

The so called humped suspension ring mount.......
Thanks for highlighting that peculiar Deumer feature.
Prost ! Steve.

Hi kingtigertank,

The LGAB is a very late Steinhauer & Lück.

The IAB is an early around 1965 Steinhauer & Lück.

I have to see the reverse of the miniature stickpin, but these can be hard to determine the makers of.

thanks Karsten (brilliant information as well) i'll try and get a photo of the reverse of the stickpin
as to the LGAB isn't it early because of the eagle being seperatly applied or were they always like that

[Karsten S]

They are all like that. it is the open hinge-block, the pin and the wide catch + the quality of the finish that reveal the period of production.

Steve thanks for all your help is £20 a good price for this medal or did i pay to much?

20 pounds ! a bargain...I would expect to pay upwards of 70 pounds for an early mm one !
Prost ! Steve.

Here is my 57er EKI. Steve identified it as a S&L piece.

The core is magnetic.
