It looks like one I bought at the Stuttgart Killiesburg Waffenboerse in 1978 as a soldier stationed there, and then sold it in 1980 for $500.00. I rarely lament a sale once I decide to sell something but it's hard to remind myself of that when it comes to seing one of these.

von Stubben:
$500.00 for the "Gold" Close Combat Clasp in 1980.
That was still pretty high even back then. I believe we were buying & selling "German Crosses" for roughly $150.00 & that price could get you a decent "20" maker mark with a nice undamaged swastika!
That is a beautiful "Gold" Clasp that Barry has there. My 'bronze' is identical to this one & is even "unmarked" with the 'Cello' bag.
-------------------------
$38,000.00 ? If that's the case maybe I should phone Barry & see if he wants to match-up his 'Gold' Clasp with my "Gold" Clasp Award Document....They're even rarer than the Clasp!

Thanks for the information.One of the few books I don't have.Will post mine when I get a new digital camera,mine is needing repairs which will cost as much as a new one in this day and age.CarlOriginally posted by Panzercracker View PostDifferent "inset" catch compared to the type 1, and the oakleaves in the box don't match the "type 1" --or the zincers. Tom's book has some great pics of both types...
P.S.: Weitze also had a "type 2" in his inventory recently --and I think it's gone...

I would very much to see if it sells what the final price will be!Not to nitpick as it is without a doubt a very rare piece,but did anyone notice the top hook is broken off!Thies also has a fine GAB # 75 PAGE #252 which I will be interested what that brings.Thies catalogs are beautiful and the very rare items are a joy to behold IMO.cdrOriginally posted by Meister30799 View PostComment
