Clasp to the Iron Cross 1st Class

[bnz. 42]

Hello guys, I bought this spange from Weitze a while ago. Is anyone familiar with this example (design/construction/maker)? Good or Bad? Thank you in advance.

Reverse

Hello

When I first glanced at the front of this bar I thought B H Mayer. It certainly has a look of Mayer about it. However, the rear set up doesn't look quite like the ones I've seen on Mayers. I suppose it could could be a variant rear set up.

Well, I'm going to stick my neck out on this, (and probably get shot down in flames in the process ), and say that I like it, I think it's good and that it is a B H Mayer.

Regards
David

Hi David

Your and my spanges are different. So the one I posted is definitely not Raptor. See below.

The progam called ImageReady (by Adobe) and is a part of Photoshop. Means if you have Photoshop, you have ImageReady as well. Very simple to use - search Google for free tutorials and you will do it yourself. Interface is pictured below.
Thanks again for your help, guys!

I believe I have found a "brother" of my spange, made by the same maker, only screwback:

Notice even "dots" (on the background) match exactly.
