Sal Williams Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I think this one may be of interest especially to Gordon. I found this on my travels in the fatherland with the help of My pal Frank H.
Sal Williams Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 the 3 looks funky on the scan but not in person
Sal Williams Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 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?
Gordon Williamson Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 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".
Ralph A Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 For display purposes, I solve the problem this way.
Guest Darrell Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 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:

Bob Hunter Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Marcus there is an old proverb in Latin that goes something like this, " You snooze, you lose."
Marcus H Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 More like sods law in this case Bob I should have stayed another week but the funds got a bit low, still next year with some luck, touch wood, fingers crossed and all that.
VonLuger Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Nice spange-even greater to have help from Frank H-
