Nahkampfspange in Silber - Hersteller Juncker

[Rosenberg]

Hello, I can't find anything bad about the melee clasp, would still like a second opinion before I buy this.....thank you

I'm going to say that it looks like a good Juncker 3rd pattern, but the small size of the first two photos is not doing any favors.

"Melee" clasp made me chuckle. It's an accurate but amusing term for it. English-speaking collectors typically say "Close Combat Clasp".

Thank you for your information, I have already requested better pictures of the front.

I agree subject to the same caveat re the pictures.

As an aside; Yes the term melee always make me think of Shakespearian battle accounts every time I hear modern commentary describe the bayonet as a "melee weapon" which is actually quite common in both UK (include in that Aus, NZ, Can etc) & US military parlance. I love it but civvies mostly have no clue what it means

For anyone who is unfamiliar with the term it basically means close quarter "hand to hand" combat involving a number of rather than just two participants. The phrase "Pell Mell" has similar connotations.
