Hello Mark,
Good RK with replaced hinge and pin. Some rivets might have been messed as well.

Hi Mark,
I agree with Seb, the badge is original. I also think the hinge is original, but only the pin is replaced. Sometime late in the war, RK's crimping tool apparently malfunctioned and they had to resort to soldering on the hinges, its something we've seen before so I feel its perfectly original to the badge.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

I always tought these soldered hinge RK was always grinded to remove the ecxess from the crimped hinge by the factory. Learn something new here today.
