    Next is an Unknown Maker. Jon thinks Juncker but I think more likely is another maker. Deumer has also been suggested because the datebox is a twin to Deumer's well-known design, and one was found attached to a Deumer EK1 to make a combo.

    Hi Christophe, I missed your post earlier. Yes, I have some for both EKI and EKII version. Here is my best case, it is a Kreigsmarine presentation set. Jim

    To add to the reference for everyone, here is a rare Funcke & Brüninghaus EKI Spange in Tombak marked L/56. 

    Regrettably this Spange was repaired and has been cleaned in the past, but it is too rare not to show.

    Gentlemen, fantastic examples!  Thank you for sharing. Though I don't currently own an EK1 Spange, it is good to know that I have these to compare if I stumble across one. 

    Regards,

    Joel

    In hindsight I think both Boergers in BM are actually P&L, marked for Boerger / sold by Boerger after P&L lost their license.

    Here's another one I recently bought, a very, very rare Zimmermann

    We have already seen a Deumer Spange in this thread (...)

    I showed the first one for reference, but now it's just bragging. Sorry! Here's another exact same piece, from an old stock I was able to acquire. There won't be a third Spange of this type, at least not from that source...

    Despite we have already seen several Petz & Lorenz Spangen in this thread, this screw back type is still missing. It appears to be Buntmetall, but in fact, it's entirely made from magnetic steel or iron! I guess this qualifies as a "rare bird"!

    Here is the clasp awarded by Kesselring to my uncle, Hauptmann Dr. Ochs, on July 12th 1940 for an action on July 10th during which his unit, 9. JG 3, wiped out a Blenheim unit, 107 RAF, near Amiens.
