Hello,
First off, thank you in advance for your expert opinions. If my armbands posted earlier are an indication, I already know the answer to if this is fake or not, but wanted to double check with you all. I am finding out that sometimes learning this hobby can be a spendy learning experience, but that is how I learn!
What´s your opinion? Fake or original...

In my opinion, I believe it to real. From comparing it to others on the forum deemed original, along with other research, I do believe it is authentic.

Unfortunately, for an FLL clasp to have this style of catch, it would have to have a crimped in hinge, not a cast one.
As far as I know, FLL did not make a CCC with a cast hinge.

An example of the clasp that rbminis is talking about I would guess. This one is in bronze but I assume the construction to be the same with the same maker.

Another example
Nahkampfspange in Siber, FLL. Original?

Exactly Ralph!
This is the biggest red flag. On the obverse side you can also see, that it is a casting clasp. Very soft details. Good to see on the eagle details also.
The back plate is also wrong for "FLL".
