    silver F&BL CCC opinions

    Hello

    I just recently sold this ccc snd the buyer posted it on a german forum where its claimed that it is a fake silver finish and that the needle is broken. This is the same CCC discussed in this thread...

    http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=298721

    I had this in hand and gave it a very good lookover , I seen absolutely no evidence of refinishing nor any broken needle.

    Also I had seen traces of silver finish on the reverse of the needle.

    The buyer is also here on WAF and I would like him to post more fotos in case iam mistaken.

    Best
    Dion

    I can't see anything wrong with the CCC - it's text book, based on your pics where does the buyer get the "broken needle" from ?!?

      Another forum, MFF, the finish is also fake from what iam told. Iam searching for my other fotos of the reverse of the needle.

        I am in agreement with Mike and Tom's earlier post should carry a lot of weight. I have a bronze F&BL and the only difference that I can see between mine and the silver one you post is the one I have has the die flaw in the sunburst that is so often seen on the F&BL clasps.

          Hi, the finish looks ok in the pictures, it is very well preserved, which is unusual. There is the look of heat discolourment around the hinge, maybe a repair? Or it could have been done during original manufacture if the coating was applied before the hinge, which I would think is probable due to the lack of silver on the pin. What he mean by broken pin? The pin looks ok to me. Beauty of a badge by the way!

            I think this is supposed to be the broken needle.

              Dion, do you have a link to the MFF forum thread?

                  Dion, the CCC has now appeared on the GCA forum - http://www.germancombatawards.com/th...threadid=10390

                  And I can sort of see where the idea of the possibly repaired broken catch comes from - but the pictures on the GCA are really not clear enough to determine whether this is original silver finnish or repair.
