EKI Spange document

My EKII spange documents

The chain and ribbon bar.

I just received this beautiful set, the spange is a Juncker 2nd model. The chain was put together by Godet and the Schiesler Eagle is stamped Godet 935.

Fake setup, 18 (Karl Wurster K.G.) did not make spanges. Jim

Bob. this is a EKII bar, an EKI bar has a pin setup much like and EKI down the center with catch. Jim

Back

As you know it is a fake. Here is a picture of a real L/16.

How rare are these compared to the "round 3" or a regular EKII for that matter? 1 in a 1,000?

You are about right in comparison. In five years I have seen a lot of round 3s but only 1 straight nine. Jim

Just picked up this Hindenburg Cross in Silver and it is made of aluminum which is coated. The cross weighs 12 gr. Jim

Nice set of crosses. JIm

Graf. Post pictures before you buy this way you will find out if it is original. I have an L/10 screwback that was sold as original but the core had been changed out. I suspect it was because someone denatizied the crosss as the inner corners show damage. We live and learn everyday. Jim

Graf, if you don't own these two pass on both, if you do send them back. The round 3 has an original Deumer core but put into a new frame. The Schinkle is a Latavian fake that closely resembles a Deschler. Jim

The Schinkle is a Deumer. Can you post straight on pictures of the round 3 an bigger. Pictures taken at an angle and small does not give enough to determine if it is good or bad. Jim

Sorry Trevor, my mistake, I always thought he made the items he sold after the war. Jim

Assman, although there is some who say this is a Schauerte & Hohfeld cross.

Also, F Sedlatzek marked 800.

You are missing L/14 Friedrich Orth

Floch was/is a maker who made several combat awards after the war. Jim

EKII case

My EKI and EKII Schinkel collection. I know that I misspelled Meybauer on the EKI and am fixing that misstake. I had to seperate my collection into two cases as one was just getting too crowded. I believe I have all known types. Jim

It is a fake, had to check to make sure. Jim

Not and L/16 spange. Jim

The second one is not an L/17 as the chest feathers are wrong, plus the stamp is generally located under the clasp. I then thought it was a P&L because of the pin and catch but it doesn't match either. It is doubtful that this is a real spange. I have every known EKI spange in my collection except for Juncker. Jim
