Nahkampfspange (close combat clasp) real or not
Hi all,
Hope you can help me out again.
I am about to purchase a WW2 German Close Combat Clasps bronze, marked F.B.L for Funke & Bruninghaus Ludenscheid,
Before I do this i would like your opinion on this... Do you think it is a fake or a real one?
Thanks for your help!!

On those photos it's a hard call----for me---- ( others may say that they are enough)
I have to say that I can't see the die flaw that is apparent on "most" F&B's The hardware looks odd, albeit close to an original.
For a definite answer you will need to take better clearer shots, it's a hell of a badge to buy if you know nowt
I have a suspicion that it is a Floch
Also, too small photos to see the maker's mark.

I have a suspicion that it is a FlochO.K., to make things clear. All genuine F&BL CCC's have this small cut in the four scrolls in the centre corners of the clasp. They are unique to this maker, and if they're not there then it cannot be a good one.
