EK1 Clasp (EK2 Clasp) opinion

[badge5050]

Hi
<O
I came across this one, but I have serious my doubts about it, but after browsing this forum (and http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101960) I’m still confused. So I need some expert opinion, - and it would be nice with a reason next to the opinion.<O</O
<O</O

And since my suspension are raised, I also include an EK-2 Clasp, which have been in my collection for years, let me here what you have to say about that one too.<O</O
<O</O

Thanks

The ek1 clasop is a Floch, mainly because it is a Floch...
(do a serach for Floch-clasp and there you will find all reason you need)

The ek2 clasp is a nice L/18 clasp.

Nice work, - thank you, especially the last link, - made it for me, - the thing about the curved breast.


Thank you again.

I still don't like them, but apparently they are good.
I don't recall the alledged maker though...

Best regards,

Okay, - I was thinking fake, - ... but I am far from expert, as I have proved

I think you're thinking of L/16, which it does resemble
I;d like to see clearer pics before I gave it a 100% though

That's the one Jon, but there is a copy doing the rounds that looks very much alike.
Agree on the pic though...
