Ek1 sponge raptor fake?

[afrikasandman]

Team,

I'm not s fan of this spange but just want to be doubly sure it's bad. I believe it's called a raptor fake due to the head shape. These are way outside of my range of collecting so I do appreciate everyone's thoughts on it.

There is nothing wrong with your Spange....It's an 'original'

Jim,

Thank you for the ID. Are these desirable? I really know nothing about these things. The fact that it's good is a great surprise. Matt

Hi Matt,
They are all desirable but B.H. Mayer is one of the more common ones available.
