Here's an L/12 EK 2, this is marked on the obverse near the ring I'll try to get a pic of it but I need three hands to take it.


Kind regards,

Marcus

marked ring of 25 for the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Graveur-Gold-un Silber- chmeide- Innungen firm of Hanau/M.....I believe that is correct anyhow.

a very worn example.

Spange to the EK_2 - a Deumer made example I believe. Not marked, but has those second row feathers that stick out like Deumer's usually do!

Hello,

I do not believe you W&L has a repair to the hanger; it is how they are.

Hi William, I base my assumption on other W&L EK's posted on here, the suspension on mine seems slightly thinner than the others, perhaps I'm wrong
