Possibly Nick...but not IMO exact enough......although it is now thought that Deumer did produce crosses longer than originally thought, into the late 1960's....like Souval, they could of bought parts from St u L in that later period. I will inspect mine.......
Prost ! Steve.

Of course it could be a St u L made cross with parts adapted from ex-Deumer stock !
Prost ! Steve.

That is what I thought. Mathijs is convinced it is a full S&L made piece. I'm interested in what Adrian's opinion is on the frames.

My mm '3' on the left and new cross on the right.

Nick...the evidence does point towards a Deumer frame........my brass jump ring version is not the same ! its 100% St u L ! It appears you have a unique or at the very least a rarer version........have you posted elsewhere for discussion ?
Prost ! Steve.

Have you posted elsewhere for discussion ?

I don't entirely agree with them, but they seem to be 100% sure of their case. I will leave it for what it is...

Anyway some new items coming in next week, so make sure to look!
