Schimdhäussler spange EKI Screwback

[Gew44]

Please, what is your opinion about this spange ?

I looks like good and very rare Schimidhäussler (or better it could be) screwback with anti rotation pin, very uncommon on single EKI clasp.

Not mine, dealer property, but IMO interesting.

Here the pics

Thanks for your attention.

Hi Max,

It's a well-known fake with a different design from the possible Schmidhäußler Spange.

Thanks Trevor.

I have emailed this to Max, but I would like to post it here that I think I was mistaken. After looking at pictures of the well-known fake Unknown Maker/Schmidhäußler Spange (below), I have come to believe that this screwback is probably a rare original.

FAKE:



I think an in-hand inspection may be necessary to confirm it, but the design looks correct to me.

I am not sure about this one, maybe it is just pictures, but details look soft, and I see some difference from a 'regular' Schimdhäussler. I would like to see some closeups.

Hi Alik,

Thanks for taking a look. I see the points you and Max mention and you're right -- there are some unanswered questions about this piece.

Here the differences of fake one respect to the original.

Are not all but I think that helps everyone to recognize this fake type.

Thanks
