Not an original IMO.. I would be expecting to see like this OSANG zincer:

Hello,

no, definitely it is not a good clasp but a copy.

The hook is not Osang, the hinge is not Osang, the makers mark is not Osang and the form of the triangels is not Osang.

Kokstok´s clasp wants to be an early one; then is should look like this:

.... and if it wants to be a late (zinc) one it should have hardware like this:


For me the clasp has no chance to be temporary.

I now have to agree with Max Porter; not original!

I have looked these past days through several old threads and web sites and all the osang clasp with the round catch I have seen had no back plate to support the catch, because of this doubt I can't affort to keep this (for me) expensive set in my collection but I realy hate to let the cardboard box go (wich is IMO a good and hard to find box)
The seller will take the clasp back without any questions but he is still convinced of it's origanality.

Thanks for all the input!!
