Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1957 - L/11

[spunkmaja]

Hi,

This is my Deumer L/11 marked EK1. I would guess that this is a very early cross and possible made by wartime parts?

Any comment welcome since I would like to learn more about the 1957 awards.

Thanks

yet another great piece Jonas! They sure used up their old stock, however it is thought that for some reason Deumer kept on LDO marking their post war EKs.

Very nice Jonas!
Here is my example, a little later than yours I would guess, without the maker's mark, but still with the same hardware.

Yours has a more glossy paint. Very nice

Jonas, indeed a beautiful example of a Deumer 57er EKI....one of my favourite 1957 awards and by a premier maker as it shows in this early example, as Nick as stated Deumer indeed used dies and left over parts from their previous EK's....they even did a convexed version, which I once owned and is shown here somewhere in this section....
Prost ! Steve.

A very nice example Jonas, one to be proud of!

A very similar LDO marking (minus the extended horizontal lines) to my wartime L/11 EK1.
