      fighter is one looker genuine tombak clasp, pendant also fine

      the Schlachtflieger is the FLL attributed type, not many examples seen and some don't believe in them. IMO original late war clasp, great example

        The Fighter is OK, IMO.
        The Schlachtflieger looks, IMO, very strange. I would not spend any money on that one.

          Hi Alex,

          I think the fighter clasp is fine, pendant on that one also looks fine to me.

          Regarding the Schlacht, I have always been a little skeptical of these. Some are decent quality with decent finish and believable hardware that I tend to like. Yours, on the other hand is one that I tend to not like, especially the finish. Hardware isn't bad, but still seems pretty low quality IMO. I also don't like the pendant, looks more like a postwar 57er pendants rather than the wartime ones IMO. This type can also be found with spurious marks on it like "L56" for instance, in the exact same font and size as I have found on postwar Para badges made by S&L, so that is another red flag for me on this type of clasp. For me the jury is still out on these, but leaning heavily toward negative. I saw this exact clasp on mili321 not long ago, just FYI.

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

            Question is it a tombak pendant on the fighter clasp?
            If then its very rare, normaly it would be a zink pendant

              Thank you, friends! I was expecting that the Schlacht isn't a good one...
