Kev,

Though not impossible, that combination could probably only have been properly acquired by a member of a J?ger unit or someone who was frequently transferred, or in and out of units like there was no tomorrow.

Since there seems to be zero provenance for the item, I would venture to say that those clasps might just have been added to a spare Kyffh?user medal.

Heiko will be able to tell you if the clasps are good or not.

Here I am...

First of all I must say that these are not the official clasps for the Kyffh?user medal, they look like this:

or like this.....

the clasps on your medal are some kind of "all vets organizations clasps" - they were used for many different mostly inofficial awards of the veterans organizations but not for the Kyffh?user medal.

Next point to know is that a soldier could only get 5 different clasps for the Kyffh?user medal, not more.

If you want to know more about the different clasps please feel free to ask questions...here are some more Kyffh?user clasps for your pleasure.
