list of spange-makers

[tinmantis]

Hi
I'm asked this question many times, so I really should finally write it in a thread so I can refer inquiring members to it (instead of regularly typing it in PMs!)

I must stress that this is my OWN list.
Not in any books, and is a result of my own research. Question marks indicate more research needed.

IMO these are the ONLY existing authentic spangen

But please try to add to it, or discredit it

This is a nice reference to have. Perhaps someone with administrative abilities on this website could make it into a "pinned" thread so all can easily find it?

Great information Jon!

I guess I never really realized until I read this post, no Spange were ever marked with the Prasidialkanzlei numbers...never really put 2 and 2 together on that. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
