Spange, opinion please

[kusztal13]

Hi. May I have your opinion on this spange. My guess L/11, but Im not an expert when it comes to spanges. It might be a copy, so please let me know what do you think. Thank you in advance

I would buy it as an original Deumer.

I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole: robot fake Prinzen (24mm) spange

Hi Jean-Claude
Correct me if I am wrong, but Dumers should have 4 pins, not two?

[Jean-Claude]

The full size Deumer 2nd classe bar (30mm wide) does indeed have 4 pins but to the best of my knowledge the smaller prinzen 2nd class bar (25mm wide) only has 2 like the one I posted

Thank you. I didn't know that. In other words, if we gave Deumer design with 4 pins but in smaller form, then it's fake?

Not necessarily...The only Deumer prinzens I have seen, including mine, have 2 vertical pins but I'm far from an expert and its not to say Deumer never made a 4 pin prinzen as well at some point. Hopefully an expert will cut in because I'm out of my league here but, personally, I wouldnt automatically disqualify a Deumer prinzen because it has 4 pins if everything else matches

Apparently, Deumer did make a 4 prong prinzen.
But, the pins on the one originally posted are too long, and they are cut on the opposite angle.

Deumer made a 4-prong Prinzen.
I have one in my collection.

They are extremely rare though, I know about 4-5 max.
