New EK2 and Spange

[Don D.]

Can anyone tell me who made these?
thanks

Reverse- I had to lighten the scan because this cross is near mint. The "black" speckles on the frame is actually where it is burnished.

1st pattern ek2 spange.

Front.

The reverse, only three prongs left but no markings.
Thanks for looking.

The EK2 is a nice W&L (mm100 L/55)

Ek2 & Spange

AGREED EK 2 W&L mm100 of L/55
Spange although looks great mm ??? for me

[tinmantis]

wow, minty 100 EK2, easy because of the 'hump'
and
the spange is an early unknown, but I think we all agreed it looks so much like the later version by L/57 that it's a presumed unmarked one. A real beauty, and I'll take it in a heartbeat!

Thanks all. And now for the one that finishes it foe me, the early first class spange, first pattern.

[Don D.]

And I'm spent....

I don't collect these spanges so I have no idea about the maker.
But I like what I see.
This spange has the most beautifull mean looking eagle I have seen on a spange before.
Much better then the eagle on the ek2 spange.

And nice to see a first pattern in a condition that has seen some action.
(I do get a little bored of all the near minty's I see lately).

Best regards,
Luud.

"the spange is an early unknown, but I think we all agreed it looks so much like the later version by L/57 that it's a presumed unmarked one."

Here's an "L/57" for comparison purposes.

Reverse. (Note the different and unusual prong type.)

Nice looking items! Is the EK2 Spange Zink?

[tinmantis]

all the early zinc ones of this type I've seen, havn't got the wing veins (yours included Dennis ) and mine!
