Hi Ken,
Looks like a good Steinhauer und Luck with a replaced pin and that has been cleaned with tarn-x or some other oxidation remover.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

Holy crap Ken, that is the cleanest S&L I have ever seen - too bad they took all the lacquer off...

That's great news! It is an extremely clean piece. I appreciate the responses

Not sure I agree Ken. She is real, but IMHO the cleaning has devalued the piece.Comment

Looks flashy though. Maybe it was spray painted and it can be removed...? Maybe you could try this with a little acetone and a q-tip.Comment

Looking closely at it, it may have been painted. They did a great job on it, but it could be. I'll take a closer look at it and see what happens.Comment

I strongly doubt it was painted.Comment

I keep looking for any run marks, overspray, build-up or anything that would make me think painted and really don't see anything. The detail on the front is incredible which (to me) doesn't indicate painting because all the small details are crisp. One wing tip on the back has a little silver to it, but that is it.....Comment

Ken, it is a perfectly normal S&L - I can even see a little of the original green lacquer on the reverse. Someone dipped it. Still a good badge, but squeaky clean.Comment
