EKII Spsnge on dealers website

I'm sorry but:

A & C have a different angle with a different first "9" and "3"

A & B have a different angle with the same first "9" and "3"

C & B have almost the same angle with a different first "9" and "3"

Hi Fernando.

I can see the same differences as you can, and I do not think that it is different light and angel.
And I am wondering why it seems that as time goes, "every" maker of the Spange for the EK2 would have more then one die.
I doubt that every time we see a close match to a known spange, that it could be explained with "they must have had 2 dies".

PS And I also think that today you see a lot more spange then you did just 5 years ago?

On the "A" Spange, the fist 9 touch the outer rim of the date bar, and on the "B" and "C" there are a clearance betwen the rim of the date bar and the first 9, which can't be because of different angel and light.

I have made a comparioson of the 2 date bars, and I see "some" diferenses between these two.
The top date bar is that of the "C" and the bottom one is from the "A".

If you look at the back of the last "9", you'll notice that there are a lack of a distinct pebling pattern on the "A" Spange.
It also seems that the 3" is missing a downstrone in the upper part of the number on the "A" Spange.
Also on the "A" you'll notice how the "193" is connected to the outer part of the date bar, but on the "C" theer are a clearence between the "193".
The top of both "9" are more round on the "A" then on the "C"

And I guess that there would be other diffenreties if I look harder

here are more pics for the comparation, first cleaned and the second one with another marks

we have to consider that "A" have a different angle and it could be that we can see less diferences

in the number "3" the light could be our enemy, now I could see more similarities

but with the first number "9".... I have the same doubts

"but with the first number "9".... I have the same doubts"

Now that I can see....

If there are differences, perhaps they had two dies. It was not at all unknown for a maker to use multiple dies.

Finally... two dies is the solution in this case?
perhaps one of them more early than the other?... perhaps "C"?
