Hi Besslein,
I am not a shields guy, but both look OK to me. As far as the CCC goes, it was made using the original RS die, but IMO are not pre-1945. I have handled several of them, but the finish is odd, the pin material and fit to the clasp is very poor and the lack of crimps to the back-plate is not in line with wartime CCC production. IMO, these are the earliest reproductions Souval came out with, still utilizing their wartime dies.
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
