Close Combat Clasp - Opinions Please

[TobyR]

Hi Everybody,

Here's another piece, I picked up today - an unmarked bronze CCC.

I've been trying to id the maker, but am not overly familiar with these. Any ideas?

Thanks for looking.

All the best,
Toby.

Nice clasp...!


Hi Toby,
My guess is that this is a good bronze CCC, and a very nicely detailed one...! I can't see any resemblance with the known maker marked clasps, but it shares a few traits with an unmarked silver clasp that once slipped through my hands (see pics below).
Cheers,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for posting: there are certainly similarities between the two badges. One thing that stands out on my badge is the flat-wire catch. It reminds me of the catch seen on some wound badges (maker escapes me).

All the best,

Toby.
