I think I was able to verify this one well, and also managed to secure this set. Will post pictures when it arrives.

Nice Fritz Zimmermann in lovely condition, congrats on this excellent set!
Some were factory vaulted, others hand vaulted by the recipient. It intends to look better on the uniform.
Regards,
Nick

Thanks for the info Nick! I get the impression there's little post war incentive for vaulting an EK, and it could in fact damage it if not done carefully. So, it sounds like this is just another feature of the period. There's so much to learn out there!

I've been looking for other MM6 EK1's, and there are some examples to look at out there. But by and large, I'm not finding lots of them. Is this maker less common than some others? Of those I've found, I can only find two other examples of this variant with the high placed "6." stamp and left opening clasp, which makes me wonder about its rarity. One of those two was cased, and in an identical case to the one I have which makes me wonder if this variant didn't necessarily come in a case with a black tray insert like the mid pin stamped version from this maker.
