Doubts on a L/57 Spange

[wessel]

I put this on EStand in good faith from my small collection but a member has cast doubts on its authenticity...any comments would be welcome.(This is the best my camera can manage!)

[AlikN]

It is a reproduction.

[Jordan Wills]

I agree, it's a reproduction.

[wessel]

Is it very helpful simply asserting 'it is a fake'? I could equally say 'It is a genuine piece,' and find one other to support this view.

On GCA there has been much discussion as to the L/57 Spange, and whilst I am not an expert (who is?) I do want to learn about these things, and would welcome further reasons as to your assertions.

Spange

Please post clear and bigger pictures of the front an back, also the sides. The Boerger & CP spanges have a very distinctive appearance. Jim

I have asked for better pictures and none posted. I am also a member of GCA and there was no concrete evidence provided that it is good. It is hard to make a reply without your help. Jim

I have been on holiday, although I did explain to you I thought my camera has taken the best it can do...I will try again tomnorrow!

hello,

with these photos, I can see that the pin is wrong...

[Thomas Durante]

I can only agree with the others, this spange is a fake.

OK, I get the message....the dealer I bought it from has agreed to take it back in P/E.
