Hi Greg,

As no one else has weighed in here, I'll give it a try. Personally, I would pass on all three EK2 Spangen. The 'L/12' marked one is known and widely doubted in collectors' circles, on the basis that the Juncker Spange design is known, and is different from this one. Also, the mark itself is thought by many to be bogus, and I probably agree with that. 'L/4' is not a legitimate maker of any Spangen, so I'd doubt that one, too. There are many fake 'L/4' Spangen. The unmarked one is hard to see from the photos supplied, but it appears it may be struck or cast from the same die or mold as the 'L/12,' which would rule it out for me.

Others will hopefully chime in, as I am not an expert, but I would advise caution on these.

The unmarked and 'L/12' spanges are 'L/18' copies, IMO. The details are soft and the pronges are wrong for this maker. The last spange is a known fake.

I'd say that they're all bad.
