Hi,

Please could someone post a piture of the front and reverse of an FLL close conbat clasp, so I can make a comparison with one I have.

Thanks,

Allan my fake is on the Floch thread of the crosses forum, also further down on here under Bronze CCC there is mine again and an original.

Hope this helps in some way shape or form,

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hi Allan, I have taken some pics of my FLL made Close Combat Clasp for you. I have owned this badge about 23 years now, I paid £15 for it.
I have never been able to make to mind up about which grade this one is? It appears to be gold, especially from the back. I have another clasp, which is not maker marked, which is really dark brown bronze (where the finish is left that is )
Hope these pics help you?
Cheers, Ade.

Close up. The badge is zinc and the highlights are worn.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Reverse. Much more finish is left here. Gilt???????
The pin appears to be brass.

Maker mark and hinge detail.

Hi Adrian,

yes, your badge is an original gold grade, zinc type.

I have one identical as yours but a bit more gilding remain.
