1939 Spange zum Eisernen Kreuzes 2er Klasse 1914
I have been offered this spange. The owner is looking for a MM on the back side, but I thought I would get initial thoughts please. I think the detail is a little soft on the feathers and I understand that the larger pocket between the head and wing on the right is also a problem area. Ribbon also looks pretty fresh.
Marked L/53
Hi Al,
Looking good to me.The obverse matches well although a better close focussed shot of the eagles head would help. I especially like the markings on the prongs on the reverse, that's a good sign. L/53 (Hymmen & Co.) are considered very uncommon spanges, and as such are quite desirable.
Regards, Ned.
