[RamZ67]

Hey guys have one here that I need help with as to authenticity, I think from my research so far its good but I know these are heavily faked and don't want to make a mistake. Any help greatly appreciated!

[RamZ67]

Thanks, sorry about that it was not a real good pic so I did not post it but here it is.

Good enougj

[RamZ67]

Thanks! The pic was not as bad as I thought it was.
I looked through them on here and the pinned thread and it looked like the 1st Pattern Schwerin that was shown there.
It was offered to me and I just want to be sure before spending the money.

Wait for other opinions

[RamZ67]

I agree with John, a good 1st pattern U-Boat clasp.

Best regards,

You can buy that one, no concerns. The reason you do not get many responses is that the clasp is rare and not many collectors have it in their collection. It is faked so you do need to get opinions or check the database on waf.

Thanks guys!
