Points at which the swastika and the wreath meet

[Honor]

All 4 these points (on the back of the clasp) at which the swastika and the wreath meet/soldered together.

[Honor]

And one of these points (bottom-left) on the front of the clasp.

[Honor]

Side by side with the Klein clasp. It is obvious that these two clasps are very different: design, details, dimensions, prongs, etc. because both were made independently from each other.

[Honor]

Left wreath comparison.
In green circles are most noticeable differences in their designs. Please also note that the veins in oak leafs on the unknown-maker clasp are more defined / have better relief than on the Klein clasp and some leafs on the Klein clasp even do not have veins at all.

[Honor]

Right wreath comparison. Besides different shapes and sizes of the same oak leafs on these clasps please also note different alignment of ends of oak leafs in top green circles.

[Honor]

Swastika comparison. Please note how differently indentations are shaped on these two clasps (the indention that is running throughout along edges of the swastika).

[Honor]

Ribbons comparison. Note differences in details (lines, angles) of knots of ribbons and ribbon ends, also the left-hand ribbon end of the unknown maker clasp is a bit more pointed down than on the Klein clasp.

[Honor]

Ribbon ends side-by-side comparison.

[Honor]

Please note in this picture that there are four cut-out openings for the swastika on the reverse of the Klein clasp (in green circles). My clasp does not have it.
