EK1 L/18 Spange Combo

[streptile]

It's one of two known factory-assembled types (S&L made the other). There are a number of key indicators of originality for this piece. Among them are:

• Mayer TR-era EK1
• Mayer Spange
• Distinctive rounded hook at the reverse of the Spange
• Anti-rotation pin at the bottom

If you want one you surely know is original, this would have been it!

I still believe L/11 'factory-assembled' their own combo too (pinbacks) but probably more likely 'to customer order'...
I also believe Juncker turned around a few of their own like that too
and also L/16 had some sort of in house 'combo creation' going on, as well as their own 'factory assembled' SB line
will we ever know for sure though?

and yes Dion, that's a 100% textbook L/18, lovely

[tinmantis]

do you know of any cased L/16s
or cased L/11s?

and by the way, your cased set of 2 second pattern Juncker combos are of supreme rarity and beauty!
