    U Boat Clasp in box of issue

    I just bought this lovely boxed U-Boat Clasp to upgrade the one which I bought 40 years ago. As you will see, the vet liberated it in Norway in 1945 and has written on the lid "German Oak Leaves for U-Boat Crews. Obtained in Norway 1945 when inspecting German Naval bases".

    I must say that the writing on the lid didn't put me off buying this clasp as it explains the clasp's history. Its in great condition.

    Is it 100% OK?

    Thanks.

    More photos front and back.

    Is it genuine? I am sure it is but it would be nice to hear expert opinions.

      Hi Stan,

      The photos are a little small and dark for close study, but nevertheless for a great classic example like this it's still an unequivocal !

      We've seen some nice examples of these lately.

              These beautiful clasps have started to pop up quite often lately. Too bad none of them probably won´t lend in my cabinet.

              The writing on the box is a cherry on the cake
