EK1 spange L/56- tombak!!

[Patrick W]

Here is something that I had never seen before, I have owned a couple of the zinc ones but this must be unique.

Very nicely frosted with polished highlights, the die matches the zinc clasps exactly. However it seems the pin may well be a replacement as it is rather strange in it's proportions.

Hope you like it!

yes, that is awesome in so many ways!
I cannot recall seeing any tombak examples, and a lovely placed mm
I agree about the pin, but who cares! what a great find, congrats

Nice one I agree, it's a replaced pin.

Not quite unique (i.e., only one that exists) though, as Ben Bijker has (had?) a very nice one.

Hey Patrick,

Not sure if Ben ever posted it. I emailed him to ask.

Hey Patrick,

Ben sent me these photos of his.

Superb! Thanks for posting that and thanks to Ben for sharing his stunning clasp. Interesting looking pin setup, certainly looks a lot nicer than the one on mine
