B.H. Mayer Spange 1st class

[callum]

Hi Gents,

I have recently acquired this wonderful piece and just wanted additional opinions to be sure.
With regards to the carton, it appears different to the usual pairing that you come across on the forum - appearing more lighter and tanned as opposed to the darker brown cartons for these spanges. It appears to have the wear as you would expect and also made from the coarse cardboard material that you normally see.
I do not have much experience in these.. Would you classify this as just another genuine variation?

Thank you,
Callum.

So you won the bet...

Congrats!!! it's an amazing piece, it's good to me, but we should wait to the Spange experts.

outstanding.

More often than not the "mint" ones out there are either L/11 Deumers or these unmarked BH Mayers.

I have had both and they're real stunners in hand:
