This is a nice 'Nahkampfspange in Silber' (Close Combat Clasp). The Close Combat Clasp was introduced on 25 November 1942 for award to personnel who fought in hand-to-hand combat situations unsupported by armor. The clasp was issued in three grades: Bronze for fifteen combat days, Silver for thirty combat days and Gold for fifty combat days. The badge is a 'Feinzink' version, the design is showing a crossed bayonet and stick grenade. The clasp shows great detail and still retains all of it's original silver finish. It is showing great details and polished highlights, there is a small crack in the stick grenade, see photos. The the clasp is complete with a magnetic backplate, this backplate in my opinion could have been replaced and therefore the clasp is priced accordingly. The clasp is nicely maker marked with 'A.G.M.u.K.' indicating production by the company of 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft Metall und Kunststoff' in Gablonz an der Neiße. This is the pattern with the large font designer's marking. The badge is having a functional full banjo style tombak pin and round wire catch. Nice and rare original silver close combat clasp in good condition!
