Spange opinions please!

[George Stimson]

It is kind of strange that the medal(s) is (are?) mounted all by itself....

Can I just get this straight...

Is the EK1 spange one of the raptors?
and
Is the EK2 spange good, but mounted in a bizarre way?

I feel like I'm falling into a pit of spanges!

Dear Jon,

Here is my view:

-The EK1 spange is most likely a Raptor
-The EK2 spange is most likely original but mounted in a bizarre way for sure, most likely done post WWII.

Cheers, Frank

I still have doubts about the EK2 spange posted by tinmantis.
The EK2 spange posted by Frank looks better. Although it has a "straight edge" it has sharper details and the beak is further away from the wing compared with tinmantis EK2 spange.

yep, I agree with you both.
thanks for the opinions, again, knowledge is power!
