Could I ask you all for an opinion.
It does look good to me but I am not sure if it doesn't look too good.













Thank you yall in advance

Hi mowgli,

Looks like an original clasp to me. Regarding the finish, it's my impression is its just showing the silvered coating and has lost or had cleaned off all of the white frosting.

Here's a previous thread discussion the finish on these silver U-Boat clasps:

My thoughts as well Norm. The reverse appears as though the zinc bubbling has been buffed down.

Very nice silver second pattern clasp. Jody had a similar one, in bit better condition, purchased from Gordon Williamson.

I also agree something might have been done to the clasp, rubbing, something, note area around hinge and the bubble areas already noted.

I do not think it detracts much since these are very hard to find. John

Very nice looking original silver clasp but it look chemically cleaned to me.
