Nahkampfspange in Silber, A.G.M.u.K.

[rbminis]

A recent addition to my collection.
Still retaining almost all of it's silver finish, this silver nahkampfspange is one of the rarer "blued back plate" examples.
A.G.M.u.K., Arbeitsgemeinschaft Metall und Kunststoff (Gablonz), Type 1.1.1. in Thomas Durante's book.
Enjoy, we don't get many original silver examples posted here.

Very nice Ralph

As you say we don't see many silver NKS here and I especially like the blue backplate types.

If you don't mind and to create a comparision here is mine also by A.G.M.u.K (not actually an individual maker of course but more of a co-operative of several).

It is either a 1.4.1 with a fluted pin or a 1.4.3 with a round wire catch take a view!

I don't think it makes much difference as the fluted and solid pins seem to have been used accross all A.G.M.u.K NKS.

Perhaps we could coral a few more here to make a reference thread?

D'Oh! Of course it is. It's obvious when you point it out.

For me the NKS is just about the most complicated award to categorise especially the A.G.M.u.K products. Even with an excellent reference book one can still get it wrong

Many thanks for your advice Tom.
