New arrival from today, a nice Deumer with the 'L/11' mark.

A nice piece in very good condition Ingrid. The most common LDO marked EK2 but still not easy to find. Well done on your new acquisition!

Although they are the same as any other PKZ marked or unmarked EK2 Cameron. There wasn't a special level of quality or difference in manufacture just for LDO pieces. It's just the makers mark that makes them different.

Hi

Whoops! I just thought that as they seem to always be in good condition so I thought that was due to the quality control. Thanks for pointing that out Adrian!

I need the bathroom.

A couple of years ago I didn't own any medals or militaria, it was only after doing my family tree that I went mad.

Now I known eight EK2's and whilst I love the history, sometimes the story, or even the ownership, I can't help admiring a minty EK1/2. I have a mixture of both minty's and ones with nice worn and well worn patina. I can see why some people may collect one or the other but have to say I'm a sucker for the sparkles.

I showed my son one of my Murray's (Mints) when he was up and he asked if it was a repro. "No Son, just an issued, unworn and looked after EK2".

And they all take pride of place on a wall, although I'm now thinking of an extension. Shhh!
