Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse 1957 Leistung

[Martin3]

Hi 1957 medal and order collectors,

I could not resist this 1957 version of the EK1 and I wonder if you like it!
Comparing it with earlier threads and my WW2 crosses, I think it is Deumer made.
Am I right?
Can you tell if it is an early or a late one?

Thanks for your time, as always: much appreciated!

Enjoy your weekend,
Martin

I think it stands a good chance of being a Deumer.
Here is my 57'er made by Wilhelm Deumer to compare.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your message and time!
That is indeed the same needle, block hinge and c-loop.
I will write Deumer on the label.
The other '57'er I have is an S&L I think, but this one I like a lot more.
Yours is a very nice example, it looks great!

Thanks again and have a nice day,
Martin

It's a Deumer for me too.

Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your thoughts!
I am happy with this one and I start to appreciate these more and more, so I think it won't be the last 1957 cross for me.

Thanks!
Martin
