Very interesting to see how closely the artist's rendition, which I think may be a touched-up photo, resembles the actual piece.

Thanks for showing it, George.

I looked at a few "drawings" in an EK book I have, and realized that they are really just touched-up photos. Some of the details are so clear it's possible to figure out makers. I always wonder about the EK shown in the Assmann catalogue that had a round-3. It just seems so odd that the artist would invent that feature.

So odd that I tend to think of Assmann as one of the makers of the R-3 EK.

That is a real gem, love that patina.

Spange is wonderful that, and in an excellent state. I look for something I took root kill time, but since there is so good copies I do not dare. congratulations

"So odd that I tend to think of Assmann as one of the makers of the R-3 EK."

Or at least as a distributer of them.

Thanks guys.

One nice thing about this Spange is it's weight and material. Very, very crisp strike, heavy and solid feeling. The patina is killer.

I appreciate the comments
