KvK I + Schwertern Screwback & EK II Spange Opinions Please

[hucks216]

Hello all,
Gave up collecting these long long ago and now clearing them out and so was wondering if anyone can give me their opinions on these two items please:

The first is an EK II Spange marked with a '21' - I have checked the list on the 'Sticky' thread in this section and such a number doesn't appear in the list of makers for such an item so not looking good but thought it best to ask anyway.

The second item is a screwback version of the KvK I Klasse mit Schwertern and the disk is marked L/21 which according to the relevant listing in this section is for Foerster & Barth, but obviously it wouldn't take much for a faker to add such a number.

Read the Floch article that is pinned in this forum. The spange is a classic examples of his work and probably the KVK also. All spanges are either LDO stamped (L/**) or not stamped. JIm

Yes, the KVK is an Austrian fake. (There is a fake EK 1 with the same "L/21" screwback configuration.)

Thanks guys. I'll keep them to use on any uniforms I happen to get in the future.

Here's what a good "L/21" KVK 1 with Swords looks like (alas, not a screwback).
