Autentic spange

[tose]

Hi, thanks for the membership!
I try to post some pictures but see that I must attach a link to the pictures "https: // address". does anyone have a clever solution where I can post pictures so they get an https: // address?

Is there anyone who can confirm / deny this Spange and whether it is authentic who produced it? Thanks in advance

Hi tose,

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately you have a fake Spange. It's known around here as the "Robot Fake."

Ok, my suspicions were correct then.

Welcome to the Forum Tose!

This has already proven to be a very well invested $25.00!

I agree with the other members. Not sure if your spange is full size (30mm) or a prinzen (25mm) version like the one I bought some years ago but it is indeed a fake/repro known as the "Robot fake"

Luckily I was able to return it to the dealer for a refund but I attached pictures from my files for you to compare. Note the same design and typical uneven & pointed chest feathers that look like roof tiles. I cant tell from your pictures but the back on mine also featured 4 extra long and thick clips that were very difficult to bend and the maker mark "0" which never existed!

Hope you can return it for a refund

Regards

JC

Thanks, fortunately it was not that big loss but larger lesson. Agree, well invested $ 25. Good thing there are people like you out there who have real expert at such things
