spange 'bits'

[tinmantis]

Hi guys
just a few things to share, a lovely mini chain on Weitze's site, first one I've seen with spangen. Looks like stickpin miniatures with added loops, both 2nd class too, nice. Any members out there with similar?
and
2nd class again, standing in for a 1st class. First time I've seen this combo too, but must be more secure? or original lost? any other pics of similar arrangements?
just sharing
regards
jon

I have never seen such a mix before, German regulation forbid this mix. Normally you do not put the pin decoration this way. The Silesian Eagle 1. class does also not belonge here.

these chains were totally unofficial though, weren't they?
and
You're right, S+L minis. I've got one somewhere, I must dig it up

I'm always dudious about L/16 marked spangen, but these minis are ones I can believe in...
