I beg to differ. I regard the Silver FLL as a fake. Details of the obverse are poor and not consistent with the FLL design, just look at the bayonet point again for instance. The crimps to the back plate is atypical at best for this maker. The setup is wrong, but quite similar to the original. One of the biggest clues is the maker mark. This example here completely lacks the curvature of the letters in "FLL" as seen on originals. The list goes on and on.

You can all probably see all that's wrong for yourselves if you compare with this original example here shown below:

Anyone else that has an opinion on this Silver FLL clasp that was posted in post #3 that I personally believe to be a reproduction?
