Luftwaffe Close Combat Clasp - Confirmation Needed

[John F.]

Gentlemen,

I have been sorting through the collection looking at all the TR stuff that I picked up back in the 1980’s (pre-internet days) As a new collector I was buying almost anything and was very trusting…because who would take advantage of a novice, right? With that being said this LW Close Combat Clasp was one of those early purchase that I would now like to confirm if it is good or bad.

Thanks for your help!

Hello John,

These are post war unfortunately.

Hi Seb,

Thank you for the reply. I'm glad I paid 1980's prices and not todays.

Agree, bad clasp! Instituted very late in the war, it should have been made of zink, if ever produced. You can use it as a "filler" or prototype.
