GOLD CCC - emedals

[vonStubben]

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!

Crazy price but the badge is also crazy

Different "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...

Beautiful and rare piece.

The price is falling pretty fast for a dealer site.
Still too expensive for me and the girls I go out with.....

Hmmmm. CCC or new car?

Typically when the price is listed, it will stay as such for years. I wouldn't expect this price to drop for a loooong time.

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.cdr
