Just got this pictures from an auctioneer....Just want to share it because IMO it was a bad attempt to fake it.

Hi Martin,

Fake #6 in the CCC book.

Tom, that book comes in pretty handy.

[mdj]

Its a good reference for fake ccc's on this forum.

Hi Martin,

The obvious dead give-away for me is the grey basemetal. ALL Presentation NKSs are tombac below the gilt.

Throw that one back!

Thanks Don Its everything that is in my head, just poured out onto paper for everyone to see, at only 1/5th the price of a common bronze clasp

Tom,

Not sure what a Presentation Clasp goes for these days, a real one that is, but figure the CCC Book is less than 1% of the price. If I was looking to buy a clasp, I'd be sleeping with your book! Call it 'life insurance'.

No doubt Mark, a no brainer! Just look at the prices of simple bronze clasps are going for these days, $500 and as high as $1,100 I have just seen! For 100 bucks, you have all the info right at your fingertips, and a quick look through it would eliminate 75% of the questions people post on the forums.

Tom,
Don't get me started again! Or I'll be exiled to Die Kniepe.

Why buy a book and educate yourself when all you have to do is ask "Is it real" and "What's it worth" .............
