FJ close combat clasp?

[Rick L.]

Hello,
I'm new to this site but not with collecting. Hope that knowledge may be gained.
Just wondering if anyone has seen or knows anything of this badge. It's 2 3/8" by 3/4'' and marked 900 on the back. It's all siver (900) including the clasp. Didn't know what it is but picked up at a flea market in the early 1990's. Sorry about the quality of the photos. It's silver.

Check your post Rick.

No photo(s) to be seen. No help can be offered without some photos.

Hey Rick,

Sorry, but it's a fantasy clasp. These were designed but not made or issued wartime. A de-nazified version was introduced for Bundeswehr para's to wear.

Here's a pic of an early postwar Assman I used to have in my collection.

Thanks,
I knew a version was made post war but was uncertain if somthing was made during the war or at least conceived. Someone apparently had time and silver to waste.
Thanks again,
Rick
