Spange to EK1 and EK2 for review, help please

[coleccionista1]

Hello, I am just looking at some items I bought. Can anyone help me so as to identify this two spanges (Spange to Ek1 and Spange to Ek2). The one to EK2 is a little small than a Deumer L11 I have. There are many comments regarding this spange, and many of them said it is WW2 original. Any help is very much appreciated.

EK1 Spange







EK2 Spange

The EKI is a Raptor fake, the EKII I think is a fake also, but better and clearer (no flash) pictures would help determine. Jim

It is a pity. But Jim thank you so much. Anyway please could you tell me what is a raptor fake and where can I find more on this supject (raptor fakes) so to see more. Thanks, regards carlos

The easiest way to tell a raptor fake is the left shoulder from the back it is straight up (see picture with circle around shoulder). If you do a search for raptor you will find this example. Jim

I agree with Jim

I agree with Jim and Sanya.

I hope you can return these two items.


A good advice is to post before buy...I do that most of the time, when I buy a medal or badge.

Or buy from the E-stand on this forum.

I agree the EK1 spange is a raptor copy- I thought this type of ek2 spange with the widely spaced date was deemed ok or have I missed a discussion?

There is a copy of this spange also and I believe that it a fake as it doesn't match mine (I also had a fake). Jim

Thank you so much to everybody that said something about these two items. I am really greatfull to all of you. Two more things, perhaps tonight (argentine time) I will post two more EK2, one number 25 and other unmarked. I you are on the forum it would be great to have your opinions. And second thans for the advice regarding to put first on forum, I will certainly do that. But what is E Stand????? Carlos
