Looks like a good Tombac example to me, possibily replaced catch? All the best -

I agree, a genuine RK marked example in zinc - catch is crimped and there is grey zinc bleeding through on the obverse.

RK's can be tricky but this one is a zinc example. The catch is the same on both tombak and zinc in appearance, it is only that the tombak catch does not have that base-plate around it. Depending on the angle, easy to mix them up.

Since there are two zinc versions, serif and sans-serif marks, we need a close up of the maker mark to tell which one this is.
I can't tell from this long distance image.

Here's my attempt to zoom in on the maker mark and the hinge of the clasp from the upper pic provided.

Thanks Justin, it is sans-serif.
