Cheers William, again the only one I'll be having so I waited for the very best I could find (and afford) ... the case is a repro but I wanted something to keep it safely. :wink:

in my opinion, the quality and manufacturing of early Deumer's is very similar to Godet's cross.

Although I'm collecting the best condition medal examples I can find/afford this Deumer has just the right amount of honest usage and wear ... always makes me wonder who won this, for what deeds and where it's been.

My KVKImS almost exudes a feeling of malignance, I wonder where that's been as well. :|
