        Hi Paddywack,

        Well, that is an original Large Font AGMuK clasp for certain. In my opinion, I don't think it was a gold clasp for the simple reason that all AGMuK clasps AND ESPECIALLY THE LARGE FONT MAKER used a very high quality plating or brenlack on their CCCs. There would certainly be some remnants of the gold finish (or any finish for that matter). It looks more like it was totally striped of its finish with some type of solvent and then possibly refinished to look like gold, but this has probably all wash away as well because of its post war, low quality nature.

        AGMuK clasps are reknown for their high quality finish and that is why you find so many near-mint examples even 65 years after production.

        If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
