L/10 spange

[tinmantis]

description says:
"Wiederholungsspange 1939 für das Eiserne Kreuz 1.Klasse 1914 Buntmetall versilbert, Fertigung der Fa. Deschler München, Zustand 2"

didn't we all agree these were post war Souvals?

where did the Deschler info come from?

I have this same piece in my 'suspect' files from months ago, jon.

I don't remember the thread this comparison was in, or for what purpose. Are they both 'suspect' pieces, or one original?

[tinmantis]

no idea
I thought they were ALL post war, and surely not Deschler!?

Hi Robert,

here is the thread...

I don't like both

The spange on the right in post 5 is an L/58-marked pillow-spange presented by Bob Hritz. I believe Dietrich personally examined this and an EKII pillow spange, and found that they were marked. The spange to the left could possibly be a variant by the same maker. There are very many similarities.

but don't forget Dietrich picked that one up from the estand for about $20 from a seller who described it as a flat out fake

and don't forget this little nugget:
"I would also like to point out that in the 1960's Souval made these pieces with this type of pin set up on the reverse. I got a set from Paul Peters in Cincinnati (sold as a fake set, no attempt to pass off as real) when I was a young teenager since I couldn't afford the real deal. The first class was marked with the L/58 and the second class was devoid of markings."

but I'm open to souval madness of course. within reason

I see. Thanks Ben and jon. This news puts them both into a whole new category, and no longer 'suspect'.
