need help on CCC in silver F&BL

[rommelius2]

Hi Guys,

Just found this CCC on the 321 auction, which is look like textbook in Thomas book 1.8.1 but still is not 100% with this, specially block hinge and the pin and probably refinished?
Is the nice horizontal die flaw between it and the backplate, characteristic for all original F&BL Clasps.
Can I have your comments on this if is good or not???
I'v asked for more pic's from the seller so I'll see....

Thank you's very much well appreciated

Hi Peter,

I think the clasp is a good one, but like you say the pin is incorrect for an F&BL. I think it is a replacement that has been colored silver to try and match the rest of the badge. I like the look of the finish on this one, just think the pin is a replacement.
