I'm looking at a nice cut out GAB on estand, but to be honest the rust on the pin worries me, is this a common problem? How much does it effect the value? thanks

This is an original set up variant made out of iron. The catch was far less fragile like this compared to these zink ones.
For me it effects the value, although it's not the same like real damage or a major defect on the obverse.Kind regards,

Hi Brig,
I too wouldn't be too worried about the pin, GWL is known to have magnetic hardware setups on their IABs and GABs. Like Giel says, it might affect the value a little, but the rest of the badge is in such nice condition that I wouldn't be concerned with the pitting on the pin.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II
