Steve campbell Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 These set ups did exist but are rare. The thing I noticed is what appears to be an uneven misalignment of the Iron Cross frame itself. Check the left verses right side of the cross. Doesn't seem like what you would expect from a quality piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain.Thank you!VinceThe silver rims dont seem to be the same width on the left and right sides., as if the core was a tiny bit to the side.

Guest Darrell Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 1. The Spange is a well documented fake.2. The maker mark is bogus (that in itself doen's make a piece fake, but doesn't help).3. As Chris points out, the EK1 looks suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 To my eyes, (And it is late), the eagle looks like a chicken. I have to agree however , I wouldn't spend money on this, given it's rarity valueregardsAlex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 can i help it if i'm a computer midget???thanks for the tip, james!i'd pan this based on the CRUDDY spangeand the MM stamp.i reserve judgement on the cross, as the pictureis still too dark, and it most probably has beenvandalized (three piece to two piece) in orderto join it to the back plate. after that, it MAY have beenfiled down to match the back plate, explainingthe variation in thicknesses of the flange.hugs,joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
