EK2 Spange Pin Attachment? Opinions?

[rhudspith]

Hi all,

Any views on the pin attachment of this spange, ones I have seen have had the very ends of the pins attached directly, this one seems to have the ends slightly folded over. Any thoughts, I think it is OK?

Can we see the front of it? And a straight-on shot of the reverse?

[rhudspith]

OK will do. I think Rick posted something very similar quite a while back but can't remember the outcome.

OK George,

Here is the front, some things that strike me, odd eagles head? gaps between wings and head look a different shape and different 9's

and the reverse. Looks like a zinc piece, maybe that would account for the different attachment of the pins? What do you think?

Hi, Rob!

Here is the one from Ric V.! It was a part of an EK representation case I bought from him last year.
Personally I have no doubts about this EK2 bar.

Cheers

I don't see the bad things I was looking for. It's not like any fake that I'm aware of. And it does look like the second bar posted.
