GERMAN WWII CLOSE COMBAT BAR IN BRONZE.

A very nice non maker marked Close Combat Bar in bronze. Good traces of original bronze, rubbing down to the original grey metal on the high points of the grenade, hilt of bayonet and upper wing of the national eagle, most of the finish remains in the lower protected field. to the reverse side the central blued panel is all intact and the award is complete with its correct fluted pin and original hook and hinge. The clasp construction is identical to the LDO piece in its original LDO packet, photographed on page 215 of German Combat Badges of the Third Reich Volume 1 by Michael F.Tucker.
