Ralph A Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) Simple little thing. I believe this clasp represents the last of the series beginning 1893. Edited July 9, 2006 by Ralph A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeikoGrusdat Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 and to show the tragedy of these fakes for the buyers AND dealers...: Kalies, a well known and good dealer from germany, has some of these (in my eyes) fakes for sale for up to 260 Euro!!!!!

eitze Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 You have to be very careful if you want to buy German Colonial items on ebay.I think over 90 % of the medals and clasps are crap Here you see two examples sold last year.The first went for 167 Euro and the second for 113 Euro.

eitze Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you have a shiny gilt or the above brown clasps, with this laser-made letters which all look the same - caution Here you see a piece which I bought via ebay two years ago for 166 Euro I `ve sent it to D. Niemann for a "Expertise" and he certified, that it is a "Original" - but beware: this clasp is definitly a FAKE !!!After I bought it, the seller offered several other pieces - all in the same design and also another "Ponape" clasp So I have paid for my stupidity and learned for the future Greetings eitze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
