J Temple-West Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 From the pictures supplied, I tend to lean in favour of this clasp being war time produced. Do I see the maker mark “O” for Steinhauer und Lück on the reverse of this clasp? The obverse certainly matches known originals by the maker but it must be said that S&L continued to produce flight clasps post war (with swastika) making authentication of war-time pieces very difficult. It would help if you could post some pictures of the rivet as post war rivets tended to be clipped rather than hammered.

I can see the circle mm on the backside also. Do you know if S&L used this mark before 1945?
all1knew Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Hello there, Can you please post a photo of the circle mark on the reverse? What's with the chemical color on the front of this one? William Kramer
