Attractive, 'Nahkampfspange in Silber' (or: silver-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a non-maker-marked- and/or minimally converse-shaped specimen as was produced by the maker- (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Steinhauer & Lück'

This is an attractive - albeit moderately worn- and used! - example of a so-called: 'Nahkampfspange in Silber' (or: silver-class close-combat clasp ie. CCC) being a (typical!) non-maker-marked and/or minimally converse-shaped specimen as was produced by the maker- (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Steinhauer & Lück' (ie. 'S&L') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The piece - which has still a very detailed and/or pronounced appearance - has regrettably lost some of its greyish-silver-coloured finish but is nevertheless very pronounced (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Spange' is as stated a minimally converse-shaped example that comes mounted on its (functional- and/or silver-coloured) 'fluted'-shaped pin (and/or typical 'wire'-type catch- ie. catch-set-up) both which are of course still present, unaltered and/or fully functional. 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: '12.6 - S&L - Fluted Pin with Flatwire Catch and Rectangular Hinge'-pattern. The piece was recently 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 have priced this silver-class example according to its nicely preserved and fully untouched condition!
