Nahkampfspange GWL

[Alumalu]

Hello,

I have this Nahkampfspange in my collection since a few years, but I am not sure if its fake or not. I asked a lot of other collectors and they aren't sure. Some told me it is fake, some told me its original. The pin is made from Iron, it is magnetic, like the platelet.

In some well known german online shop, there is another GWL Clasp with an iron pin.

I suspect it is fake, because the GWL stamp is pushed in and not protrude, like in all the other GWL Nahkampfspangen I found online. Only once I found another one with a pushed in GWL stamp, but I dont know if that one is fake or original.

Maybe somebody can help me.

Thank you and Greetings

I believe this one is a copy.
The maker's mark should be raised, not pressed in. And the back plate on GWL Nahkampfspange was black on the obverse, and unfinished on the reverse.
