For me it's really hard to say - thre were so many variations to the spagen. I have seen devices similar to this style, but with the a different method than simply wrapping around the ribbon. Some were sewn on, others crimped on, sometimes that spange was added individualy other times in a "group" such as this. The bad part is that crafty dealers do and have known how to make aluminum and chrome spange and then added them to the ribbon for an instant profit... I would pass unless I could hold this one in my hand before opening my wallet. But that is just me...

I also doesn't like it. Can you see marks on the back side of this "spange". It really looks like a fake one, but maybe I'm wrong.
