If he is talking about the excess solder on the pin I reckon it is remnants from then the hinge was attached. If it is a repair it's a bloody good one! The finish still looks ok, even in his photo's.

Hello all
I was the buyer from Dions clasp and I was very happy that I was the first in his update and can buy the clasp but today I have many fear after the comments in german MFF so I tell that Dion
For that I post the pics in Combat forum too than in that forum I can post the bigest size from photos ( here 250 kb in MMF was 680 kb ) I hope the was no problem for any
My only reason was the fear that I have if my nice clasp was not silver

[QUOTE=münster;2727390]Yeah, but I like to see you wasting your timeOriginally posted by fugpaw View PostKeep uploading - this is entertaining
Mike, its the same pics that are on GCA
The CCC is a very, very nice original, I can understand why the buyer is cautious - but if he/she has a problem with it, then send it over to Blighty and I have a home waiting for it

Thomas, there is a good book on CCCs that is easy to learn from, but somehow the name evades me.....

Thomas, there is no reason to fear that the F&BL CCC is not silver - it is one of the best silver examples I have ever seen. I have a very nice silver example, but yours is 20% better - you are very lucky to have grabbed this.

there is no fracture or break in the needle whatsoever, i really went over this one to learn because I have ignored CCCs a bit and PABs.Originally posted by PABLO_Teale View PostIf he is talking about the excess solder on the pin I reckon it is remnants from then the hinge was attached.

I've seen the close up pics on GCA and from my experience in metals and the welding/soldering/bonding of - this has not been repaired extensively - if it has then an extremely skilled person did it without leaving any obvious traces.

Iam glad you are Thomas, for me personally the suggestion was insane from the opinions you were given. This is one of my 500 am scores from the houseclearers and i will assure you that most of them do not have the smarts to put on a shirt let alone flawlessly repair a ccc and then refinish it perfectly (sad but true) This is one of those pieces that with my limited knoweldge of CCCs i would put money on that it is not screwed with in any way. Please enjoy it and I will miss it and enjoy my bitburger pils instead!

Hi guys,
In my opinion, a perfectly good F&BL in Silver. The "repair" area on the pin is the remnants of the silver finish that is pretty much gone from the majority of the pin and catch. You can still see silver bits around the hinge pin, which would not be the case if it were a repair.
It is a bit odd for the silver finish to be totally gone from the pin and catch, rare, but entirely possible. Also is the reason why some people are thinking its a bronze clasp, but what we are seeing is the bare steel of the pin and bare tombak of the catch.
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
