Ian....
This sure looks like the one on the WA.com homepage under the heading 'Variations...Curved Trapezoid' half way down.....
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/iron...nge/spange.htm
You will notice Sebastian Bianchi's version is distinctly 1st pattern ('curved trapezoid') while the other example shown is one of Richard Gordons which - while being seemingly identical to Seba's in all other respects - looks neither 'curved' nor 'trapezoid' to me.
Some of these curves are extremely slight if not photographed sympathetically, so perhaps Rich will confirm whether this is a result of the photo angle used, or it has been mis-labled...
In addition, this thread EK2 Clasp. Early Junker? also contains a very similar example which was (probably) correctly identified as early first pattern.
While I see only the slightest of curves to your date bar, I would have to vote for 'good' based purely on Rich's example....which has presumably passed expert muster before being posted as a site reference example.
The '14 EK2? who can tell....I can't even see it properley...but $380.00 would seem extremely fair to me.... The spange alone might get that....
regards

Just to confirm, the date box on mine is slightly curved and this is more obvious from the back. Yes, the angle doesn't show this too well.
I was looking through the Iron Time the other day and while I had not noticed before, there is a pic of one of these there too. See top of page 245
