Spange & WW1 EK2 (prizen copy?)

[evilmike]

My uneducated spange interest tells me this is most likely trying to copy a prizen? there are x4 prongs unlike a prizen and its oddly marked KO on an imperial KO EK2 now thats abit odd isnt it (iam also suspicious on the ek)

Anyway, its been sent to me by a dealer for inspection so no money down and its going back if its bad.

your opinions as usual always appreciated

Hi
the spange is a fake

the markings on the EK2 look awesome(if real)

thanks Jon, is it trying to be a Prinzen type?

On to the cross, the WW1 EK2 database has the +M+ style maker mark but its not seen with the KO that i can find so thats puzzling, could be a missing link, could be a complete fabrication we shall hopefully see soon

I know this fake Spange -- in fact I used to own one -- but it's new to me to see it in Prinzen size. Anyone else seen one?

[evilmike]

Prinzen..... blame my spelling on a very long drive to get home and its 2am zzzzzz

[evilmike]

Next to my good Prinzen.... very similar size

Perhaps you can post the cross down in Imperial so we can discuss the markings.

[evilmike]

already have Don see you there

[tinmantis]

yes, trying to be a prinzen
your other one looks to be a good Deumer though...

This seems to be the same 4 pin prinzen as posted by Mike. Saw this on a dealers update today.
