CCC help need

[Robert P.]

I'm not the owner of the clasp, so I can't speak for him. But if an original pin for the badge was available, why not repair it? I'm just speaking for myself. Restore it to it's original condition. ++++

Being honest-I will ask for help with restoring this one
Thanks for constructive discussion guys.My last question-How should it looks like in mint condition, never seen before.I've checked forum archives but disparities between the makers are huge...

Hi Robert,

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the finish of the badge itself, just the restoration of the pin is what I was referring to. My fault in being misunderstood on that. The worn look to the front of the badge gives it so much character. A vintage antique, as these are, can be easily robbed of value when altered from their original condition or state. The addition of a whole pin will only help it's value. From time to time you will see badges that have been recoated or repainted in an effort to bring back their original state. It just can't be done correctly. I like the appearance of your badge just the way it is. It's got the look of a badge that was truly worn by a veteran.

Robert,

Look on page 2, frame #17 of this link, and you'll see a mint 1st pattern FLL CCC.
