I like the "L/57"! (I just got one of those -- marked -- myself! )

one of these days i'll get my hands on a nice spangen myself....

[Anthony Evans]

to play off a old thread and only a joke. i think you should take the ribbon off of it

George, I've been eyeing up your L/57 for quite some time!

Fantastic!

Both of you (yes I saw Georges and drooled too.....)

My favourite Standard pattern spange maker!!

And I think more than a hint that - if not Boerger & Co themselves - then the same graveurmeister had a hand in producing this remarkably similar, but as yet unidentifies 1st form spange.

Well done. A nice find.

I think you're onto something there Marshall. There's alot of design elements there that match up almost perfectly...

and George, I just carefully found the mark!
