    Default 1939 EKII Spange: Good or bad?

    This spange is part of lot I am considering. As I'm a buckles guy I'm not really educated in this regard. Unfortunately no photo of the reverse. Good or bad? Hard to tell from pics?

    Thanks for any help

    I am far from being an expert on EK Spangen but I believe based on the photos that the Spange is a reproduction attributed to Floch by many - it is most likely "21" marked on the reverse.








    Here is an example of such a reproduction:

    It does match the example Kenneth has posted so I agree, a Floch fake Spange. Save your money.
    Best Regards,
