Steve:
Thanks for the reminder. I think I'm very aware of the global audience but I've read a good bit of what Geno has published and usually I closely read his posts and even though he may not have command of the English language, he goes to extended efforts to sift thru our chatter here. He's one I'd take some liberties on phrases/colloquialisms and I'm sure if he didn't understand he'd get on my case and ask for a revision.
Here's a Wilcke combo from the same period with what I'd guess to be similar stamps(for now I think the steel type stamp and the forge mark are paired):
I've revisited the "EH/K?" stamp for some time and I'm perplexed as to what it is for now. But I would expect to see a similar set of initials on the DR in question.
Another "EH/K" stamp.
Lovely, just lovely sideplates. I'd guess it to have been made in the post 1912 to pre-1923 period in Suhl. I'd look toward a maker in Suhl who's serial number in the 20k range post 1912. I'll look. The side frame reinforcement might be a key.
And there isn't an Omega on the tube. I was looking at a sidewise "G" from the "Eagle" "Crown" over "G".
Kind Regards,
Raimey
