Here are three IC II Spanges that I think are bad and that I am getting ready to post to the fakes gallery. Let me know if I'm wrong about this. Thanks, John

Hi
middle one looks like a good L/15 or an unmarked '55'. Better pics needed
but the other two are 100% fakes

I agree on 1 and 3 being fake
The number 2 looks like an L/15, but I would like to see a good pic of the obverse and a shot from the side.
I have just sent back an unmarked Schickle that was VERY convincing, will post some pics in a separate thread.
It was way to thick, the color was wrong and there were very small traces of casting, hardly visible though....

Best regards,
Ben

John, based on this pics IMO the clasp is an original L/15.

Best regards,
