Luftwaffe Nachtjäger mit anhänger

[PeterL]

Not the best picture, I have asked for better ones but what do you think, is it period? I liket the front but I have questions about the pin and it looks like it's the same metal in both the spange and anh?nger, shouldn't the anh?nger be made of zink?

There used to be a looot of skepticism about nachtj?ger clasps with really high pendant numbers... I forget all the arguments and dont know if they are still valid... but I think a lot of care is needed with these...

Based on just these two small pics, it appears the clasp and pendant are cast copies

Agreed.

As you've said, Peter, the hanger should be of zinc.

Also, the faker has aged the clasp in an attempt to hide the soft features.

Thank you all!

As I started to collect very late, I live by the rule "everyting is a fake until proven otherwise" and I am very greatful that you share your knowledge and view on objects!

Have a nice weekend!
