Hi Merdock,
They are very nice. The lettering of the makermarks are textbook like. Not to straight, just the right kind of outlining. All three are in my opinion o.k. Nice patina and a well maintained plating.

Very nice catch and also my complements on the super B close-ups.

Cheers:Peter

close combat clasps

Hi,
Thanks for the comments peter i had no doubts about them thought others would like to see especially the gold one it's a shame about the zinc eruption through the plating but i 've stopped it know.
As to gold clasps i've never like the ones with hooks i know others will disagree but i do not think they made them like that i think there fantasey pieces and i also never liked the hard metal versions that have appeared over the last number of years . Every vet one i've ever seen has been zinc just like mine.
