Heer CCC Bronze Close Combat Clasp

[Avitas]

Hi, here is my CCC in Bronze. It still has some of the bronze colour on the outer leaves on each end of the clasp. Also a C.F. Juncker with the unlevel "NCK" in Juncker. Any opinions on its originality? Again, I have just joined (just discovered the site today, I am a frequent user of some other forums, but have never posted) and will be posting many items on the site.

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, with the C.F. Juncker marking. Are these replacement pins, or late-war?

Thanks,

Those pins are not original to the badge. Can we please see better pics of the markings?

thanks

Here is a bigger pic of the makers mark. The badge has been repaired for sure, just not sure when..

Hello gentlemen,

Here are some higher quality scans of this CCC in Bronze. It looks like it might have a chance, but any more opinions are appreciated.

the reverse, with mm.

These seem to have sharper details than my fake PAB and GA's. Any opinions to share on this CCC?

This is a copy.

I agree. It also shares a casting flaw on the front that is also on your "Juncker" ccc fake.

Hi guys,

It looks like it may be an original, with a repaired setup. The soft details and edges and "casting look" are perfectly typical for a Juncker CCC. I also like the crimping style and it is a match to originals. The fakes are getting much better lately and this may just be a very good casting of an original. Either way, the pins are definately not original to the clasp.

Don, what flaw are you talking about on the obverse?
