M-1535 Killer Close Combat Clasp in Bronze by A.G.M.u.K.
How many do you ever find in this condition? The badge is
nicely vaulted and maker marked just to the right of the backing plate.
Look at the factory brennlack finish!! The pin is tombac as is
the flat wire "C" catch. The hinge pin is magnetic as is the
backing plate. The backing plate is assembled using 4 small crimps. A similar example can be found on pg
81 of Durante's
reference. NM

M-1420 Close Combat Clasp in Bronze by Juncker
Here's an example purchased from the Vet's family by my picker
last week. There remains good two tone bonze brennlack finish. The badge is
slightly vaulted and maker marked just below and to the left of the hinge,
"C.F. Juncker".... What!!! C.F.? Yes, CF. There is a misspelling the the
firm's name, why? I have no idea, but for you guys who believe the Germans
never made such mistakes read Durante's reference (pg 180) on these and
you will see this is exactly how these "full wing" variants are supposed
to be!! The backing plate is missing and these is some evidence of wear to
the reverse. The pin is magnetic, the hinge and flat wire "C" catch
are tombac. Again textbook. Exc

M-1061 Close Combat Clasp in Bronze by Friedrick Linder
Here's a good example of the Lüdenschied makers product. As we
often see with FLL product most of the bronze finish has been lost with
just enough around the clasp and catch so I can tell it's bronze. The badge is
slightly vaulted and maker marked "FLL" in three raised circles as was
their habit. The backing plate is missing. The pin is nonmagnetic as is
the catch and hinge. A similar example can be found on pg 189 of Durante's
reference. Exc+

M-1129 Close Combat Clasp in Silver by F&BL
Here's an example purchased from the Vet's family. As we
often see with these zinc examples much of the finish is gone. Most of the
silver brennlack finish has been lost with just enough around the clasp and catch so I can tell it's
silver. The badge is
slightly vaulted and maker marked just above the clasp as was
their habit. The backing plate is missing. The pin is magnetic as is
the flat wire "C" catch and barrel hinge tombac. A similar example can be found on pg 137 of Durante's
reference. Exc

M-1394 GAB by Wurster
Here's a nice maker marked example with great finish. These
guys used a nice heavy silver plating that, unlike so many GAB's survived
very well. Absolutely right in
construction details to include the narrow block hinge and tall reversed
question mark shaped catch. All the hardware is nonmagnetic. Look real
hard to the left of the hinge and you will see a tiny raised "w" that
gives away the manufacturer. There is a bit of plating loss to some high
areas, most notably to the eagle's right wing and his toes. The
reverse suffers some bubbling as well. A similar example can be seen in
German Awards of World War II Vol. 1 by Heukemes pg 198, except, this one
is in better shape!! ☺ Exc++

M-1518 PAB 25 in Silver
Rare badge with a very nice
finish. This example is textbook two piece example with correct assembly
rivets. This was possibly stepped on at some point cause the badge is
slightly bent and suffers a crack to the left side just behind the right
tank tread light. This is invisible from the obverse. The hinge base is
correctly crimped in place. The magnetic coke bottle shape pin is not bent
and retains it's issue shape. The magnetic catch is the correct shape and
size. I believe from the construction details that this is an unmarked JFS,
(Josef Feix Söhne) This was purchased from a Watertown CT 7th Armoured
Division Vets family last month. If you can live with the crack to the
reverse you just found yourself a deal! Exc
