It is at a price too good, what can be mistrusted! There are only these photos on the site.
Nahkampfspange in Bronze, replica?

That one is NOT a replica my friend - it is an original Friedrich Linden, Lüdenscheid - FLL - albeit worn - but an orginal Bronze award
This is a reproduction FLL
Original for me too.
Not sure with this pics, but could be, that the backplate is re attached.
But the backplate itself is original "FLL" also imo.

I agree with the other members, an original, worn example.
There are good reference photos of most of the makers here for you to compare.

Just to add that it's a type 1.14.1 with the soldered hinge. Back plate matches nicely with referenced FLL clasps and may have been slightly 'tightened' on the left hand side to stop a rattle, but otherwise is original and probably with the clasp from day one IMO.

I agree an original & as Joe said back plate's been re-crimped. Still very nice & desirable though. Hope you can nail it. Stewy
