Hi Fred, Thanks for posting that toggle photo. In addition to the slanted SPANDAU, the toggle is missing the bevels on it's sides, which indicates that it was ground down to remove an existing ERFURT stamp (see photo). I know this is small consolation to you, given the amount you have invested in this piece, but I think it's a wonderful relic of the golden age of Luger fakery, when forgers and boosters roamed the earth, boldly going where no man had gone before.
Best regards, Norm
