Jon I will try but I might have to wait till daylight to get better pics, the flash seems to bar it out,but I will try...Cheers...Jeff

much better pics thanks
I'm looking and looking, and scratching my head here, with no answers...
yours seems to have different width prongs too, and the marking looks soft. But why 2 spangen marked L/11, of a supposed authentic style? maybe stamped to increase believability? (if that's a word)
hmmm, I just can't believe it's made by Deumer... but with so little (so far) to go on I'm in the dark.
I think we still need to see more examples to compare.
very interesting thread

Do you find the quality good on these two spangen showed so far ?

Cheers.

"Do you find the quality good on these two spangen showed so far ?"

I sure don't.

I do not like them. Lack of details, and strange wings.
But that is just my two cents

Low quality in my opinion as well.

[tinmantis]

There is also one shown in TheIronTime. It has uneven placement of the prongs also, and very close.
What does everyone think of these? ALL fake? or is there a REAL one somewhere that these are copied from?

Here is a L/11 from my photo files:

The example Peter posted is what I expect to see in a genuine "L/11" EK 2 Spange.
