Anyone?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
The first one looks not OK to me but the second looks like OK (bronze version).
Unfortunately both are fakes. The silver one is of a version that was shown earlier this week that I believe you said you owned one the same and had doubts about? The second one is one of the commonest FLL fake versions but is easy to spot. The finish, backing plate, plate crimps, hinge, pin, catch, and markings, all are wrong.

Thank you for your comments. I had doubts on both but wanted confirmation before getting rid of a real one!
I think I need to get hold of that book that no-one can get hold of!
The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II by T Durante.
The German Close combat Clasp of WW2 By Thomas Durante Papjay Publishing ISBN 978-90-81230-11-7
and the easiest giveaway for these types of fakes is the FLL. if it ain't got a curve in it, it ain't right
A curve on the clasp or on the FLL mark?
