close combat clasp,bronze

[brownshirts]

hi guys,
not sure if this is the correct place for this ccc in bronze...
as you can see the vet or original owner has removed the swaztica.
other than that this example is crisp and holds the bronze finish still.
looks great displayed.

Hi Matthew,

This indeed is the wrong forum, should be in the "Heer Awards" forum.

As for the CCC, I think this might be a well made reproduction. Would need much clearer pics of the obverse and reverse, and side shots of the hinge and catch. Is the back plate magnetic?

It looks OK from this distance, but the odd finish on the obverse looks to be artificially worn. The backplate doesn't fit properly, and the overall details don't look as sharp as on originals. Something about the catch is also not quite right. Its close, but somehow I think its a well made repro but better, clearer pics or scans would let us know for sure.
