Opinion on Makers Mark for EK1 Spange

[Josko]

Hi Guys,

I need a quick opinion on a EK1 Spange makers mark which has been offered to me.

It is marked L/60 which would indicate that it is a Gustav Brehmer piece but
L/60 is not a recognized maker of either EK1 or EK2 Spanges.

Any opinions?

Seems suspicious because the asking price is also only $200

Thanks

That would be two strikes (mm and price) not worthy of waiting for strike 3.

The Floch EKI spanges use primarily a wide pin such as the Mayer, and are marked with various numbers. I would guess this might be one of those...

[tinmantis]

either it's a fully fake spangen
or the L/60 mm has been added post-war to an authentic one... which is unlikely, that's why we're all guessing it's just a repro

It looks like a raptor or anyway it is a fake. Jim

Can't really tell anything from these pics.
When in doubt, don't. (Don't buy, that is.)

This is what it is...

Not a raptor, but nonetheless a fake like Jim said...

Thanks every one for your advice....the moral of the story continues to be......"when its too good to be true....it usually is!

I'll have to let the seller know....he wont be happy

Cheers
