Opinions on this EK1 spange please

[G May]

The spange is unmarked. Was wondering if it's good or repo. Thank you, G May

No

Frank knows about these fakes. He's got some special name for the odd "two claw" effect....

Thanks George, I searched the forum and found the "raptor". This was a SOS purchase Thursday. Bummer. moremad G May

Dear Gmay,

The Raptor-Fake looks like this (see below), your spange is different, check e.g. the "9"s. So there is still hope.

Also revisit this thread, Mike K has added a two claw type spange that seems to be an original and shows also differences to the fake.
