EK 1914 EK2 Wiederholungsspange - ORIGINAL or FAKE?

[KDVR]

Hello friends

I got that beauty recently. In my opinion it is a good one. It is a little bit difficult to remove it, and I'm scard that the prongs could break away. So I hope the pictures from the backside are enough to make a decision.

Please write me your opinion about it. May be someone knows who was the manufacturer.

THANK YOU

Not to take pics or scans, but wondered if you have enough space between the ribbon and the center back of the spange that you might be able to physically see if there is any makers mark/number under the ribbon. Just be very careful but I suspect you might be able to see what you need to see... especially if you use good lighting or even a small flashlight. You shouldn't need very much space to be able to see it, again with good lighting.

It is a Ziemer & Sohn or also known as the big eye. Jim

I'm not a TR collector but i like the 1939 Spangen. My only problem is, they all look alike

to me. I have to get them authenticated by someone smarter than myself.

KDVR -- Nice spange !

This spange is never marked. Yes spanges like EKs is a minefield and you should always ask before buying, I have a lot and still ask. Jim

I really like the Ek2/spange combos. I think they make for a very impressive looking

set up. I have a couple of my own and one is a Ziemer and Sohn like the posted above.
