Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
Hello
case is a late type, orginal, but I 've never seen it marked Deumer or L/11 or something else.. this one has to be marked LDO and stop.
About cross, it 's original but there are 2 strange things :
1 - what is that dark sign on swaz ?
2 - what happened on the edge of frame (top arm) ? seems damaged or maybe a bit open
3rd thing (you decide if important or not) IMO this case was never used by Deumer.

Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
The LDO cases never have the cross printed on top of the cover. Never on originals.
You find the cross on corver just on cases used for ufficially awards and crosses have to be unmarked or marked with the PKN (not L/xx).

Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
Hello Fabri and thanks for the reply. I have noticed that the bottom part of the case is black velvet instead of white. Maybe it's a case for a KVKI?
That dark sign is a crack. Now about the upper arm, i have no idea what that is. Maybe i should pass on this?

Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
No, this case is a typical late case for EKI, I had one, same type but for screw-back EKI.
The black velvet it 's absolutely right for this case, I still have 1 - 2 cases like this for pin-back EKI.
The white/clear velvet was used for other kind of cases.
Depend what you want.. I think we have to know why the edge is open so have a better idea of value.
Normally with about 300 Euro you can buy a cased and marked EKI in good conditions.
You have to consider that in the future you 'll have same problems if you decide to put it on the market..

Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
I can only agree with what Fabri has already pointed out. You have a very nice Imperial set, I would buy a very nice Third Reich set to go with it and would therefore pass on the set you opened the thread with. There are many fine sets out there if you shop around.

Hi Andrian, you agree also that this case is a late original/proper L/11 one?

Re: L/11 LDO EKI with L/11 case!!!!
I agree that from the photos it looks like an original late war quality case, not quite up to the standards of early war cases by any means.
Fabri is more knowledgeable than me on cases and if he doesn't think Deumer used this type of case then I will defer to his thoughts. As the case is unmarked it's impossible to identify a maker or say for sure the cross and case belong together.
