    1st Pattern EKII Spange + Document


    Recommended Posts

    Hi Guys,

    I just received this spange and it's award document in a Luftwaffe Observer grouping that I was lucky enough to acquire. A relatively rare EKII spange in it's first pattern. I thought you guys here would enjoy seeing and appreciating this, so I posted it here as well. :jumping:

    ...See the foot of the '1' for a flaw, not always found. Also, I know of an example in zinc!

    Wow - Very nice Eric!! :love:

    Richard...

    I used to own a zinc example, so I can vouch for that!

    There are a few attatchment methods for these... mine is the type for fitting on the grosse ordensspange, and is silvered tombak.

    Sorry to digress Eric - but I was also interested to note that while my example does have the fairly typical 'flawed 1' ... the sides of my swaz are trapezoid - (e.g. they taper in from bottom to top) - while the sides of Eric and Richards swaz's appear (from the pics at least) to have vertical sides...

    Can either of you confirm whether your swaz is vertical sided or tapered?

    Thanks guys! :cheers: The sides on my swaz are indeed vertical Biro. @ Joe - here is a pic of the reverse. Somewhere along the line a prong was broken off, but at least I still have it!
