    Silver Bomber clasp and case

    Hi guys, I would appreciate any opinions over this tombak clasp and case. They look fine to me but I would appreciate any thoughts and possible maker.
    I know the COA is not an indication of authenticity
    Cheers - Greg

        Hi Greg,

        Both clasp and case are fine originals. The bomber is a relatively rare type and has been associated with Assmann IMO.

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

          Nice clasp and case Greg. I agree with Tom (although he knows a lot more about this stuff than me!) that this is a much less common design than those we normally see.

            Very very nice set, I agree its an Assman clasp which is hard to find but also the case is a later war case, hard to find and very uncomon IMO.

              Nice set
              I would think the case originally housed a zinc clasp.

                  Thanks for the help fellas, in 'negotiations' to try and snag it now
                  Does anyone have a pic of a case which this one would have been in originally if this is not the right one?

                    The early type would fit but the case you have is very hard to come by and I would keep it.

                      I agree with Seb here. While the case is not matched to the clasp, both by themselves are worthy of any top shelf collection.

                            To bad Greg, sorry for you!

                            Whoever ended up with it has a winner set.

                            Others will certainly come available for you Greg, they always do.
