    An unusual EK2 spange


    Recommended Posts

    Here is the ribbon. My question is how were these fastened to the ribbon? There are little cuts in this ribbon which the arms/loops fit into but it hardly seems like a good solution. was there a proper way these were secured?

    Very nice Sal ! I've seen a few of these with the slides rather than prongs, but never seen a maker marked one before. I suspect these notches in the ribbon may have been caused by just wear/friction rubbing against the slides rather than deliberate. The small length of the ribbon when worn on the buttonhole wouldn't really leave much opportunity for the clasp to slide up and down so I think it was just left "loose".

    Hi Sal.

    I have an EK2 Spange exactly like yours ... but with the standard 4 prong device. It is also Maker Marked L/13 on the reverse in the same position. Same die flaws in the date as yours :food-smiley-004:
