EK2 Spange

[Woolgar]

I am looking to buy my first Spange, please can you give me your opinions on this example.

I have been studying them recently but need expert advice before buying

Thanks for your time

IMO this is a fake L/16
a look at the reverse would prove it

fake ones have bigger pebbling that the real ones etc, and the pins are different
this one may even have a raised L/16 mark on the back, proving it's fake

can you get a pic of the reverse?
regards

Jon, is that one of those type with a reworked head, sorta looks like it's been filed down

Chris, you are mixing it up with the fake clasp with the big shoulder gap.

Jon is correct though, this one is fake as well....

Funny, I like the design of the fake one better

so do I..

The design isn't bad at all, although the fake looks a bit "stuck up" with it's beak in the air.

But maybe Nick can send you a link so you can add it to the collection

The fake looks more like a really angry pidgeon than an eagle.

Guys, please can you assess this one also, I know it has a prong missing.

I appreciate your time
