Re: Nahkampfspange des Heeres in Gold, im Etui.
This was the award that was most highly esteemed amongst the Deutsche Infanterie and other front line veterans even above the RK and DKiG .
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Hi Jay,
I believe the figure of Gold clasp awardees is 631. The number of badges made was obviously greater.

I really can't comment on the originality of the badge. My knowledge and experience on these badges (I really should get one), especially the gold version is very limited.
However I think there were eight known makers of this badge so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that minor variations in details will exist, as they do on other badges - the Infanteriesturmabzeichen for example.
