Trio of clasps.....any good?

[LuftMike]

Gentlemen, not my area of expertise at all.....would appreciate if someone could give me any info on the authenticity of these clasps. I'm not so sure of the recon but the other two have a chance...I think?

Recon

Clasps....

Mike:

I actually think ALL 3 are originals!

The "Transport/Glider" is an original & in pretty decent condition.

The " Bomber" is an original & in pretty good condition.

The "Observer" just might be! The bird head looks okay. The Oak leaves look okay.
The pin & catch on this look okay as well. The 'surface' of the metal on the back
looks quite "pocked" & might just be "oxidation problem" with the metal itself
over the years.

I'd have to have the "Observer" in hand if I were going to be buying it!

I agree with Ron on the first two. The Reconnaissance clasp may well be OK but it looks like a ground dug example and the condition is certainly poor.

I wote for that all three are good but the Recon had have a hard life = bad storage or ground dug.

Cheers!
