My guess is that this is a clasp made by Juncker. Any other theories?

Lovely example, but could I see a closeup of the rivet? Something strikes me as odd. Maybe nothing at all, but....
Also, this type of catch is not associated with Juncker as far as my research goes.

I´ll try to take some more pictures to post.
But it´s a perfectly fine clasp, I know.
I have never cared very much about makers as long as the badge or clasp is good.

A member here thinks the clasp has been "repainted", mainly because of picture three here, and I have tried to explain, that it´s NOT, but perhaps my english isn´t good enough to explain?
The edges are "angled", the reverse is not 100% smooth with 90° edges and my guess is, that were the reverse has been in touch with the underlay (tunic or what so ever) the gilding has darkened or faded, while on the edges it´s intact.
Has anyone seen this phenomenon before?

More pictures, that might convince the doubter, that the finish is the original one?

This kind of catch was used an badges, by Juncker, so why not on clasp, too? Just asking!

And finally the rivet; small but perfectly OK.

Very nice clasp Ludwig, it could sure be a Juncker.
