Here I will post the picture I have in my archive. That CCC was found with another clasp show abouwe in the mid 1990 years in the Wolchow front, and belonged to the Latvian SS volunteer, the spange was worn as showed on picture. Another one clasp for another close combat but not in trench lines, and is showed opened womans legs

Hi there,do you have any other pics? Also,you state these were found. So can you be 100% sure they belonged to a Latvian volunteer? Was the top clasp/badge exclusive to Latvian SS? I'm just curious as it's the first i've seen

I have seen them both in one Russian collection, they was recovered with the body of the volunteer in the early of 90's. The above clasp was just for joking, as a brawe of his wins in fighting in the sexual front and is of cause a trench art

As for the clasp above, interesting, as a former US Army Aviator, I saw pilots who had special made Army wings made in the shape of these "bush wings". Army wings have a center shield and sharper wings that make the legs to toes look really close to female anatomy. As for the Warrant Officer I saw wearing a stitched version, I really should have reamed him a new one, but thought it humorous at the time.
