Hendrik Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Gents,I'm trying to find out more about a Spange in a friend's collection : the dimensions given indicate it is a EK2 Spange, the reverse maker's mark is L/11 (Deumer) - However, I can see no traces of prongs or whatever other means of attachment. Would appreciate your views ...Cheers,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksg Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 HiMade ready to be soldered to a IC ( and you meant of course EK 1 spange ) ?Kjell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Personally, one I'd steer clear of. I've never seen an L/11 mark like that on a Deumer. Other features are dodgey as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I totally agree with Darrell - this is not a Deumer (either first or second class) and I'm pretty sure some further research (which I don't have time to do now) will revel this to be a known fake.In fact from memory, it appears in Gordon's book in the fake section under the heading 'English fake'....Sorry Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks Gents,As the total wings' span is reportedly 29.5 mm, my first inclination was to call it an EK2 Spange ... but, you both are confirming my feeling of it being too odd to be original. I'll forward the sad news to the present owner Cheers,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 On the upper and lower right extremities you can see what looks like glue remains... maybe it had glued on prongs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe campbell Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 not scientific...but these repros never seem to get the character of the metalcorrect. they appear to be a funnycolor of blue, almost like gun metal....i think it represents combinations ofmodern alloys which can't mimic themetal composition used during the TR era.joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
