General2 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 The bar has been removed from ebay and the seller is having his own private auction What would be a reasonable price to pay for this bar? Please let me know or PM me....i hope to get it! ThanksJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 None. IMO, a total parts piece, excluding the '39 repeat device that looks like a cast copy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks. I have been offered it for ?75. This too much?ThanksJohnIs ?75 too much for a fake bar? I tend to think that the price is WAY too high. I am sorry for the bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I cannot see anything bad about it, but ?75 is enough if it is a good one - and that we don't even agree if it's good or bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Perfectly good Otto Schickle bar--classic and easily recognizable Spange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I continue to disagree... the device does not match your samples. the head on the "eBay" bar is like a nub with a point, the swastika has a casting defect. The wing feathers (count 'em) do NOT match your sample.Sorry, I will disagree with my twin here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Observe:A) Heads of eagleB) Wing feathers, note subtle layering and number on the Schickle standard from RR; then abserve that there are (1) more feathers on the ebay bar & (2) the two rows of wings are filed straight across, not layeredC) Thickness and shape of swastikaD) Look at the shape of the numeral "1" and "3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General2 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Here is a close-up of the Spange. Good or bad?Thanks for the help! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi, Here are two models of the claps :Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well that's really interesting. In this new photo it does not appear to even match the other image! Note that the comparison pix I made with your first closeup has what looks like a clear defect on the swastika. This new image the defect is not there! I will say I am much happier with this spange based on this new photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The "headless" Schickle Spange is, I think simply an "artifact" (I am extending my pinkie drinking tea) of the CAMERA not catching the ROUNDED slope of the ) ribbon bar front. It's "below the horizon" rather than a straight on shots from my SCANNER, where the birds are resting on their tumtums on the glass. There is--always and ever--NO SUBSTITUTE for in hand inspection. So all we can offer on the basis of 2-D imagery is an opinion on how THAT looks... and of course always have the right to return something once it arrives FOR in hand inspection.From everything that I've seen-- and especially the absence of nasty little scratches around the tabs on back to indicate monkeying around-- no alarm bells are going off for me with this one. But then I am the Cute & Fluffy GOOD Twin. :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 There is--always and ever--NO SUBSTITUTE for in hand inspection. So all we can offer on the basis of 2-D imagery is an opinion on how THAT looks...Amen and hallelujah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
