    The maker marks correspond to maker Friedrich Linden - Lüdenscheid, which was an actual mfg. of the Nahkampfspange.

    The clasp is in such poor condition that I do not consider it collectible. I would only purchase if I was into relic condition items and the price was cheap.

    Better photos would be required to determine the authenticity.
    There are good photos of originals by this maker posted in this thread.

    No, he only said the maker's marks correspond with the maker Friedrich Linden, Ludenschied.

    Ralph is 100% correct. You had asked about the markings and the originality, but I only commented on the markings. I did not look it over closely for originality as the condition may make it difficult to establish and I wasn't up for the challenge. LOL.

    If you are getting into collecting Nahkampfspangen, I would recommend Thomas Durante's reference work. I keep a copy on my shelf.

    Will Do!!!
    I'm someone who wants to collect everything, hahaha. Maybe I'm too greedy, but I really love these things, especially considering their special historical significance. Anyway, I make sure to thoroughly understand all aspects of the material before getting started.

    I think these ground dug items are better left where the soldier died, in the ground, unless it’s an official repatriation of a wartime cemetery to either Germany or Russia. Buying this stuff is encouraging the looting and desecration of graves in my opinion.
