Looks like an original from these pics, however the catch is replaced IMO.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

Hi Stian
I am not keen on this badge.
For me the obverse lacks detail. The reverse does not have a smooth texture but more of a dimpled pitted texture. There is a lot of flash around the edges and the two cutouts below the swastika are not usual for Frank & Rief marked GABs in my opinion.
And as Tom mentioned the catch is an issue.
best regards

Hi guys,
Looking at this one again, I think Graeme is exactly right, this one is a fake. Weak detail, cutouts under the swas, incorrect reverse hardware setup are all red flags.
Good eye Graeme, I stand corrected.

I agree with Graeme, also for me not a good one.
The mess around the edges is the biggest giveaway.Comment
