WWII German Gold Close Combat Clasp by Juncker v7.3

Condition: Excellent

Maker: C.E. Juncker

Pattern: Gold

Base Material: Zinc
This pristine, near-mint example of the extremely desirable Juncker 2nd pattern – Close Combat Clasp in Gold. It’s a real gem with a super nice gold finish, and most of the original lacquer coating is intact. This piece is struck from zinc. The obverse shows only the slightest hint of wear to the high points. Ninety percent of the original, attractive gold finish remains on the front, and all the original details remain fully evident. The reverse also retains full original finish and is textbook Juncker. It’s marked with the name of the badge’s designer, Peekhaus in Berlin, and also maker marked by Juncker. The hinge, non-magnetic pin, and catch are intact, functional, and original.
