As an archaeologist I have a problem with the very flat multicoloured patina and especially with the very light green brown areas. Just be careful!

Best,

Jan

Thanks for this but it is infact a C as i have just checked , i'll clean these up slightly for better viewing , Here are pictures of the Albeitbuch from the same seller who had a lot of daggers aswell and all his stuff looked genuine , i really find this so hard to beleive. But appreciate your knowledge.

Please note : The photos that started this thread were uploaded with PHOTOBUCKET - So, expect at some point that they will disappear, rendering this thread USELESS.

Saved for prosperity

BTW they are bloody awful

What a gutter

, i am cleaning the pair with brasso now as we speak the close combat badge looks like a bronze colour is that correct?. I have also taken a picture of the arbeitsbuch which is awaiting moderation , appreciate the help guys but am still finding it hard to take in.

I totally agree with Ned...Especially the use of FEE instead of FEC is unforgiveable.
cheers, Glenn

Ned's opinion of these is one to be taken seriously. There are three or four members here whose knowledge of these clasps make them THE guys to go to and Ned is one of them.

Post the Arbeitsbuch in the paperwork forum for the guys to take a look at.

Just gutted guys , the stamp on the pin is L/12 , i'm still cleaning the badge , i'll post on here when both are cleaned up but obviously you guys know what you are talking about. I might make a display piece out of them with the arbeitbuch book underneath them , what i was suprised about was how heavy they were. And i thought i had the real deal.

. Thank you for all the help.

My work here is done. I'm needed elsewhere now. I'm needed wherever outlaws rule the west. Wherever innocent women and children are afraid to walk the streets. Wherever a man cannot live in simple dignity, and wherever a people cry out for justice.
