Fake?

This is not a Mayer, nor is it a Otto Schickle. A raptor? Maybe a variation of a raptor. I have not seen this spange before, but it does hold many features of a raptor fake. I'll leave this one alone for the time being because I am at a loss as to it's origin.

Not sure either, no known maker (or copy)

Gut feeling is not good.......

I would pass on this one.

Hi guys i maybe a little late to the party but I'd like some help on this subject also with my spange,

The first one is bad, maybe a raptor.  I would pass.  The second one I can't place, but there are Unknown makers of which I have a few but not all, so I will reserve judgement on this one although I like what I see.  Jim

Because the claws look like those of a raptor (Dinosauer)
