BH Mayer EKI Spange for opinions please

[Robert P.]

Did Mayer produce 1st class spanges without the veins in the features?

reverse..

Here's mine (with the veins obviously). Can't say I've really paid that close attention.

[Robert P.]

Thanks Darrell.
This is the first I have seen without the veins. Perhaps jon or others will have some opinions on this badge this evening. It looks identical to a Mayer other than the lack of veins.

It would be neat to see these two badges "overlayed" on each other to see just how close they are. Someone did that once (can't remember who) where it was a overlay with a quick transitional picture between two badges.

I remember that Darrell,

I'll do a collage. It won't be as good, but will offer more insight hopefully.

Even the pebbling inside the date box and around the swastika look alike....

[Robert P.]

The one thing I always look for on a Mayer, among other things, is the short left leg. The eagle's right leg is longer...on both badges. I like this badge from what I can see of it so far, and would not be surprised to hear that Mayer used this badge pattern before going to the veins.

wow Robert, that's one hell of a discovery
I have never seen a Mayer EK1 spange without veins before...
we know that Mayer made 'veined' and 'unveined' EK2 spangen, and also 2 different dies for their 'veined' EK1 spangen. Now we can say they used THREE dies for their EK1's!
very good find, and no doubt super rare. I'd agree that this is an earlier one, and must have been a very short run too

I thought it looked good too jon,

My only regret is it is not mine, only posted for an inquisitive aquaintance. I wish he would now show us more of his collection....hint.
