Silber Nahkampfspange/Close Combat clasp AGMuK

[Adrian Stevenson]

No, sorry have you misunderstood. Originals of this award are made of zink.

Zink has a flat dull grey appearance and sometimes will exhibit a powerdery white bloom known as "zink pest".

Cheers, Ade.

Cheers, thanks for clarifying that for me.

I am sure a photo will help you. Here is an original gilt clasp from my collection made by FLL.

Note the finish and appearance of the base metal where it is showing through on the worn highlights.

Cheers, Ade.
