    I agree Leroy, life is too short to spend it looking at catches all day and night, I don't want you to do that. As you know, some of us live and die by the reverse hardware on badges, for me it is the essence and "signature" of a maker. Whether we can ever find this type of catch on an original..or a fake, we will have to wait and see.

    Thanks for the pics and dimensions of your Osang LRDF. I like your clasp alot, looks to have all the aspects I look for on original wartime Osang clasps. The dimensions also confirm the thought that the clasp in question is a smaller, casting of an original like the one you show.

    The maker mark on your example looks to be the "textbook" Osang maker mark, with elongated "O". Although it is very lightly stamped in and not full, the letters we can see all look typical IMO.

    Is this the only Osang Fighter you have? If you have any others, would you mind posting some dimensions on those as well, for consistency purposes?

    Thanks

    If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

      Thanks, Sebastien and Tom.

      Tom, I will look to see what other Osang fighters I may have. I know I have some
      Osang Air-to-Ground clasps. Would they be helpful?

        Yes, I believe so. Although a different clasp, it would help to establish consistency that Osang used a certain size for all their LW clasps. We have seen this is true with Osang Bombers and SRDFs.....and now with your LRDF (thanks). So rounding it out with Osang Schlachts would be additional evidence of consistency.

        Even their nightfighters too. These were just regular day fighters that have the wreath painted, so dimensions from them would be relevant as well.

        Thanks much Leroy.

                      Hi Ludwig,

                      Can you post the full reverse of both clasps, and full obverse of both?

                      Can you also provide dimensions of both?

                      Thanks

                      Tom

                        Hi Ludwig,

                        pardon my question: How did you get all those different "round O" Osang clasps? I recognise you showed and offered some in the past.

                        Best regards,
                        Stefan

                          I don´t have that many, Stefan! Perhaps four. I have bought them here at the WAF e-stand (all from different collectors). I have offered one clasp for sale, but withdrew it, as somebody disliked it, because of the round o.
                          I realize, that no matter how much I believe there are good round o´s, the market (at least here at the WAF) has been destroyed by this unproven theory. Of course you shall always be careful and keep your eyes open!

                            Here they are. I don´t have the tool for measuring, handy, I´m afraid.
