Nahkampfspange by AGMuK in Bronze: 6 crimp version, for review.

this nahkampfspange in bronze has an unusual 6-crimp pattern to hold in the (missing) backplate.
It also has what look like casting flaws at the right hand end of the obverse.
I suspect it's fake, but please let me have your opinions -

Anyone, please? 110 views but no opinions?

I can not find any original examples with this mixed crimping method.

I know very little about these. I've had a look but can't find a six crimp example but what I have noticed is that any clasps with a non fluted pin such as the example you've posted all seem to have a round wire catch, not a flat wire one. The area you mention on the right obverse would be enough to make me look elsewhere to be honest. There are enough pieces for sale without any questions to choose another.
Hopefully someone else will be along to give you a more informed opinion.

Here's one, but it has a fluted pin and different catch set up.

Looks like a cast fake IMO . Trying to be a 1.15 2nd pattern but the eagle doesn't match , the acorn cups have no detail plus more .
