Looks good to me. A very nice example with the correct double hinged case which are much harder to find than the single hinged ones. Both cases are correct for the KM HRC.

This is a period example IMO.

Nice piece. Just like my own.

I should have bought some of the "Canadian horde" when they were being sold a number of years ago, I think around $2000 or so.

Yes, that clasp looks like the ones generally accepted as war time originals. IMO.

Hi Honor,

It would help to see more and better photos, but allowing for the differences in photography I'd say both those two clasps you show are likely the same maker but show variation in the hand filing of the internal cutouts.

At present, only one known period type has been shown on the forums, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of other makers. Certainly an area worthy of more study.

Best regards,

Norm, you are absolutely right, it is all same clasps, just different cutouts with missing fragments in the anchor.
