1939 EK2 spange question

[Danny70]

Hello All...

These little birdies are not in my collecting area at all and I know very little about them.
However, this one is on it's way to me and I would like to hear some opinions on it, be they good or bad.

It's unmarked and missing three of its prongs. It looks good to me, but as I said, I'm pretty clueless on these.
I already have a Deumer L/11 and this one doesn't match it.
Is it a good one? and any ideas on the maker? (Just hope it's not Floch!)

Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards - Danny

These are the best pictures I have.

Hi Danny

It looks like a Deumer to me

Hi Danny,
Nothing wrong with this piece other than the broken prongs, it's an original piece by Ziemer & Sohne, commonly known as the 'Big Eye'.
Here's the one I used to own - also with broken prongs..........

Thanks Adrian.

Yes, that's the one alright.
I was initially concerned about the softness of the detail on the swas, but yours looks exactly the same.
Cheers for that!

Nick -
They are at first glance similar to Deumer, but when I compared it to my L/11, I knew it wasn't a match.

Regards - Danny
