Wer have had a very busy year renovating a house , work etc. So I didn't really post much. Time to catch up: Here are some more clasps Unknown maker, Lüdenscheid area Schickle 1st type SB Meybauer prototype.. A nice and rare Deumer Combo And my best catch over the past year L/18 combo, hardly worn. Pic doesn't do it justice....

A very old thread, but there was no real reply on this question. Although not regulated, the mini's are copies of the larger clasps. Attached is a picture of a 9mm Boerger first pattern ek2 clasp.

Here's my nicest NC ek2, complete with citation...

You're welcome!

The one that medalhunter posted. The eagle's head looks like Gonzo the great from the Muppet show...

Haven't been active for a long time, time to catch up... The clasp is not a wartime made piece. It is called "robot-fake"

In hindsight I think both Boergers in BM are actually P&L, marked for Boerger / sold by Boerger after P&L lost their license. Here's another one I recently bought, a very, very rare Zimmermann

Looks like a mini- Petz & Lorenz... All mini's look VERY much like their bigger siblings..

The second one is the so called "Gonzo-fake." Because the claws look like those of a raptor (Dinosauer)

Very nice Jim, congrats!!!

Landed some very nice stuff over the past weeks.... Juncker 1st pattern ek2 clasp, near mint Minty 6. A nice R3 with stippled core and swas on a plateau. and a super-nice Petz & Lorenz ek2 in vgc, best I have seen in all my years of collecting.

Thanks Jim, they are quite rare in BM...

These are pretty rare, since most S&L ek1 clasps have a different model and different hardware. The major part is zinc, this type is in Buntmetall Rare original in vgc

haven't found a number yet, but it won't be a very big part of the awarded crosses.

No problem. Very good, that is one of about 5 I know of. They are very hard to find. I missed one about 15 years ago, it took me over 10 years to find another........
