    Frank, straight on photos of the reverse of the EK I spange would enable us to see the pin shape.

    Frank,
    Unsure of EK1 spange.
    The EKII spange however, in my opinion is a fake:
    -sloppy eagle head details
    -excess metal between head and wing on right side
    -Distance of feathers between wings and legs are different
    -Prongs on back are continuous.

    Hope that helps.

    Both are bad IMO. Sorry, Stewy

    I wasn't aware Berg & Nolte produced spanges of either class, could the EK1 spange be made by another firm and then sold by B&NL similar to some other makers did with other badges? Or is it more likely a fake?

    Regards, Ned.

    After viewing this thread again, I am inclined to agree with Stewy.
    As far as I know, B&N L did not make any spange nor sell any under their name. I don't like the hinge plate or the catch plate and it does not match any that I have seen.
    The EK II spange in my opinion is also a reproduction.

    Hardware's way off for an original Spange IMO. Stewy

    Meybauer used something similar, although not the same, on their 1st pattern and some of their early 2nd pattern spanges. Here's a couple of pics from different badges. Also note the obverse pic of one of their 2nd pattern eagles, very similar to that of the O.P. Interesting....

    It is the big square catch late and the notch in the hinge plate that I do not like. The eagle would be similar if they were casting from an original. If I am not mistaken, I also see some casting flaws on the reverse of the wing of the EK I spange. Hence, the request for better photos.

    After doing a little more research, I found this statement was incorrect. They did manufacture EK I spange but, were marked L/56 and none of them were similar to this one in any way.
