EK2 Spange Fake?

[Jordan Wills]

Hello there everyone,

I need help on this second class spange with packet, could you please help me on the authenticity, I think it's a fake because of the lack of detail in the eagle's head. and i've never seen a packet like this before its a lot thicker than an EK2 packet and any other packet i own its more like thin cardboard.

Thanks,

Jordan

I don't like the look of the lettering on the packet...but you'll have to probably post better pix of the obverse to get a definite yes or no.

Debate? There is little to debate about the photographed spange. It has nothing in common with a Juncker product.

Hi Jordan personally i do not like either of these, lettering to the packet looks very thin and not what you would expect. As for the spanzs Bob said what many although not all think. Just to be on the safe side why not post the packet in the packet forum and see what there opinions are.
