EKII Spange

[CMSgt]

I thought this was either an L/15 or L/15, but after receiving it, I have doubts as to whether it is original. Need help, Jim

Hi Jim,

odd clasp.
It looks like an L/11 - L/16 mix.
It looks very convincing, but it is hard to judge from the pics.
Are the prongs very stiff???

Yes, that is my concern.

Is it right that this awards never had a stamp on the backsite?

No, several makers did mark their spanges and some did not. Jim

I don't like it either Jim, bad soft details, and that strange alloy we always see with repros, thick prongs etc...

When I received the spange I immediately thought fake, because of the prongs. It came with a nice original box with wrapper. Here is a picture of the prongs, which is a dead giveaway. Jim
