Close Combat Clasp - FB&L

[Woton]

Hello,

I aquired this item a little while ago and wanted to check wether it is original.

The CCC is vaulted with excellent detail and with correct width 97.7mm.

Many thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

This is a common reproduction. Unfortunately it is of good quality and many unsuspecting collectors fall for it because of its good quality. Nevertheless, it is a reproduction.

As Tom has already stated, a well known reproduction. The original F&BL has some features visible from the obverse that help identify it before even looking at the reverse. Those are missing this and on originals the marking differnet to that shown here.

Sorry.
