Unmarked EK1 Spange opinions please

[relics2007]

Hello all,
Please give me your opinions on this unmarked EK1 Spange. Is it original or fake? who is the maker? Thank you!

Hi
I havn't got my files with me at the moment, so I can't be 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure this is what's known as the 'Raptor Repro'.
Do a search for: Raptor, and L/15 spange. They look similar, but one's the repro!
regards

Can I please have second opionions? My dealer guaranteed this is an original . If it's a repro, I'll return it for money back. Thanks,

Jon, by the way thank you for your quick help to id the fake item. Please don't get me wrong, the reason I ask for a "second opinion" is because I need more than one confirmations so I can show to my dealer. Thanks again!

Jon (tinmantis) knows the field of spange well, and i can only agree. This is a known fake.

Yes, Jon is correct. While this Spange is very close to the "L/15", it is indeed the infamous "Raptor."
