    Cased spange HELP Please

    I just picked this up and until it is in hand it is all the pictures i have .
    Can anyone tell me if i have been clever or stupid with regards to it being authentic . I know i have either just got lucky or ripped of...
    Any help gratefully accepted.

      Sorry to say so, but I would have passed on this one.

      I don't like it a bit.
      It lacks detail, odd catch, odd mm, the head looks not like I would expect and the case looks new as well.

      If you do a search on the forum I know you will find some nice originals.

      I hope you will be able to get out of this deal.

      Sorry...

      Ben

          Hmmm £55 but i have not payed for it yet, I may still pay for it as a filler until a good one comes along...
          Not sure if i want to risk negative feedback by not paying , downside is , i received the pics after the auction ended.

            I have to agree with the others.
            Look at the paint on the case.
            Look at the spange !
            That is no German workmanship .
            Regards

              That price in itself is a dead give away mate. "Good" cased Spanges in this condition go for at least $650-$800 US.

                That bit i knew , but sometimes real ones slip thrugh the net, we all hear about the lucky finds , was just hoping this was one of them such finds. not concerned though , still fills a hole until the real one comes along .

                  Absolutely. You did right by posting here first

                  BTW .. as a rule of thumb ... if you see ANY Spange with a maker mark on the pin ... turn and run ... they did not mark them that way .. not pre-45 anyway .....
