Naxos Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Makes me sick - add the words "found in Stalingrad" and you can sell dried up fecal matter.

Tom D. Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi Hardy,I would be very surpised if any close combat clasps made it into the Stalingrad pocket at all. Although the clasp looks like an original JFS CCC. Due to the retroactive counting of combat days for guys in Russia, some soldiers were immediately eligible for the CCC in bronze (and silver for that matter) at the time of the awards introduction on Nov. '42. Even so, no award documents have been found earlier than April of 1943, a full 3 months after Stalingrad fell to the Soviets. Additionally, this is a 2nd pattern JFS clasp, which would put its production in the late 1943 and onwards period, so very unlikely it was found anywhere near Stalingrad.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 As an owner of some slightly ugly, pinless, catchless and damaged pieces, even I wouldn't touch one in that condition, real or not! Did someone buy that one?Later,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
