Spange - a known fake?

[R. Schmitt]

Horrido everyone! This Spange doesmn't look too good, or does it?
Thanks for any comments!

I'm afraid that you're quite right. The front is trying to imitate an early Junker style spange whilst the reverse is getting close to a Deumer. Catch is all wrong. Keep wallet in pocket.

the beak almost looks like a tucan in its roundness

Thanks for your opinions, guys. I was suspicious about that thing when I saw it first time. The back is Deumer style and the front is imitating an early Junker Spange as I understand (Thanks for pointing that oiut, Patrick), I'll do more research on those Spanges I think, at least the Spanges did not have that many makers, that should limit my effort. I wish I had the money to get one of each maker.... oh well, when I grow up maybe, hehe
