Comments on this Spange are welcomed. This is not an area I collect but received this in a collection I purchased this weekend. Thanks in advance.

Should be in the crosses forum so I'll move it there.

No comments on this piece - good or bad?

Compare with this L/12 Detlev sold...

Basing this on the untrained eyes that I have I would say they are very similar except the silver wash on mine is more worn. Would this be an accurate statement?

[Don D.]

Looks that way to me.

Don - thanks for the approval!

There seems to be something on the reverse of this spange, a grain in the metal almost, or is it just me? Is this an original feature?

I prefer to remain silent on these L/12s, as I don't know either way on them,
and I know that will cause trouble in itself
anyone have one direct from a vet? I'd be interested to listen

James,

I see what you're referring to. I'm not sure what to make of this. On another note I see some similar design features on this spange and a 1st pattern 1st Class Juncker. I don't say one way or another on this spange, just that there are some similarities involved.

On most 1st pattern 1st Class Juncker spanges there are more pronounced corners on the wings on both sides of the eagle's head, more like the 2nd class shown. My badge has been finished more than most 1st pattern Junckers in this area.

After reading this I was wondering what you guys think of my L/12 EKII Spange.

Thanks
