Frontflugspange fur Fernnachtjager in Silber - ask for help

Hi guys,
I would like to ask for help with this Luftwaffe clasp. It was told to me it is the original one, but now when it arrived I am not sure and I need some opinion from you. I also did not find too many clasps for comparison. Any opinion is welcome. Thank you.
Mike

Hello Mike,

Can you measure it ?

**Meme32** · 06-11-2019, 08:18 PM

It would be also good to weight it, it should be around 17.6 grams

This late war version of clasp were die cast in zinc and I have read that "fissures" or cracks afound laong the bottom edges of such clasp are good indicators of originality. Can you see fissures on your clasp ?

Hi Mike , since no one has responded I will try to help you but I need better photos of the front ( swaz ) and a good pic of the back with pin closed . Both pic's straight on . Are there any fishers ( cracks - voids ) on the outer edges ? Width , height , and wt would help also . I like what I see so far .

Meme32 beat me to it .

I agree about the points raised.

I think this one is good.

Cheers, Ade.

Hallo,
thank you for all replies. I took, I hope better pictures and I also measured it. It is 75.5mm x 25mm, weight is 17grams (the scale sometimes cannot decide if it is 17 or 18 grams). I hope it helps.

Matches well with one in Previtera's book pg 176 . Has the same flaw on the left tip of arrow looking at the back . I like it and it has a lot of the finish left .
