Recon Clasp, Gold? Opinions Please...

[Jamz]

Hi all:
This came into a local shop and the owner has asked me if I know if it's
original or not.
What do y'all say??? Thanks, John

[Jamz]

If it's not right, can someone tell me the telltale signs? You can PM me if you don't want to give it away to the fakers. Thanks again, John

Last shot...

Looks good

[Jamz]

Even with that funky lopsided hinge (last photo, top half larger)?
Thanks for the input Gene. John

I'm going by the middle photo; if you could post better pics that would be great

[Jamz]

Only got those 3 shots when I was in Houston, Sat.
The top heavy hinge shows up in photo 2 as well.
I have Detlev's book and appears to have one listed like that there as well.
Thanks, John

Better pictures would be nice, but I have no problems with what I am seeing.

Thanks gentlemen. John
