'Nahkampfspange in Bronze' (or: bronze-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a maker- (ie. 'A.G.M.u.K.'-) marked- and/or minimal converse-shaped specimen having its period-attached (steel-based) 'back-plate' in place

This is a very attractive - just moderately used and actually scarcely encountered! - example of a so-called: 'Nahkampfspange in Bronze' (or: bronze-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a nicely maker- (ie. 'A.G.M.u.K.'-) marked- and/or typical minimally converse-shaped specimen that was produced by the: 'Hersteller' (ie. maker) named: 'A.G.M.u.K.' (or: 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Metall- u. Kunststoff') and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem just moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The piece - which has a very detailed and/or pronounced appearance as to be expected - is as stated above - a clearly maker-marked specimen bearing the makers'-signification: 'A.G.M.u.K.', denoting that it deals with a piece as was produced by the: 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Metall- u. Kunststoff'-company based in the town of Gablonz. The 'Spange' is as stated a minimally converse-shaped example that shows a 'fluted'-shaped - and/or copper-toned - pin (and/or round-wire-type catch-/catch-set-up), both which are of course still present, unaltered and/or fully functional. The clasp - which is executed in typical zinc-based metal ie. 'Feinzink' - retains almost all of its original (minimally darkened ie. somewhat dirty- ie. stained), reddish-bronze-coloured finish and has never been cleaned nor polished. The still firmly 'crimped' (and steel-based- and bluish-/black-coloured-) metal-based 'back-plate' is naturally also present and in place (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece was found as such at a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply a very attractive example of a nicely preserved, bronze-class 'Nahkampfspange' that will be very hard to be upgraded: it should be noted that original examples of this neat combat-award are nowadays getting hard to get. An identical example is also described in Thomas Durantes' excellent reference-work entitled: 'The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II' wherein it is given (I deem) the unique reference-number and description: '1.2.1. - AGMuk “Single Side Crimps” - ”First Pattern” - Big Crimps - Common Maker Mark'. I deem that I did price this truly very attractive bronze-class example according to its nicely preserved and/or fully untouched condition!
