WWII GERMAN BADGE - CLOSE COMBAT BRONZE
This is a German WWII Close Combat clasp. This award was instituted on November 25th, 1942. There were three grades issued:
- Bronze - 15 days of unsupported close combat or 10 days in case of wound
- Silver - 30 days of unsupported close combat or 20 days in case of wound
- Gold (gilt) - 50 days of unsupported close combat or 40 days in case of wound
This clasp was worn on the left breast of the tunic, above the ribbons. This sample is nicely marked with raised lettering.
These types of badges are heavily reproduced. Special attention should be payed to the manufacturing details to be able to
detect a fake.
Many companies are making Close Combat Badge replicas.
