Attractive, 'Nahkampfspange in Silber' (or: silver-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a non-maker-marked- and/or minimally converse-shaped so-called: 'six-dot'-specimen as was produced by a to date unidentified maker- (ie. 'Hersteller')

This is an attractive example of a so-called: 'Nahkampfspange in Silber' (or: silver-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a non-maker-marked- and/or minimally converse-shaped so-called: 'six-dot'-specimen ie. variant as was produced by a to date unidentified maker- (ie. 'Hersteller') and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem moderately used ie. clearly worn-), condition. The piece - which has a very detailed and/or pronounced appearance - is as stated a non-maker-marked version specimen that has regrettably lost most (ie. all) of its silverish finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Spange' is as stated a minimally converse-shaped example that comes mounted on its (functional- and silver-coloured-) flute-shaped (ie. 'fat-bellied'-) pin (and/or typical 'thick-wire'-type catch- ie. catch-set-up) both which are of course still present, unaltered and/or fully functional. The 'crimped' metal-based 'back-plate' is naturally also present and firmly in place and is attached by means of six crimps (ie. 'dots'). A similar example is also described in the excellent reference-book entitled: 'The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II' by Thomas M. Durante wherein this particular pattern is given the unique reference-numeral : '11.1. - '6-Dot - Fat Bellied Pin'-pattern. The piece was found as such at a private-household and was never before part of a collection. Simply an attractive example of a silver-class 'Nahkampfspange': it should be noted that original examples of this neat and fairly uncommon combat-award are nowadays getting hard to find. I deem that I priced this example according to its overall nice and/or untouched condition!
