hang on Ben...
YOU are joking aren't you?
please let me know where these others are for sale! (or show pics)

I think this one slipped under Detlev's radar and sold for about $500!
I wish I hadn't been asleep

Everything is wrong with this clasp, all the hardware and obverse is ugly too... .

Here is the link to real intermediate clasp.........

here's the other one, I hope the seller doesn't mind me using these pics:

?hang on
let's take this one step at a time
Ben, this spange is one and the same as the Detlev one...
but now it's got alot more patina

and yes Alikn, I agree, yours is a onelooker

I don't have a problem with the Detlev one's hardware though, I've seen this before on what I'd call authentic ones

and yeah, that L/58 is cr@p
and the infamous Juncker combo spange is not the same either(check the numeral '1' in datebox)

I think there's two players here, Alikn's style and Detlev's style (no-viens, and viened)
I believe Alikn's 100%, but Detlev's is beginning to confuse me... anyone else?

sorry for 3 posts in a row
but I just had a thought. Ben, you must have made the other owner (who got it from Detlev) return it, and now it's back for sale by Detlev. The patina may be a trick of the light...
I still like it!
