    I don't know how to post images from another site but, below will be the info that any of this site's "techies" might be able to produce photo's of my clasp from.

    Front view:

    PostImage.org - Image hosting service for forums

    Rear view:

    Whether or not these pics will somehow work overhere, I don't know?

    Thanks for getting one to post here Jeff ;-)) I'll go look for the info on the other one tomorrow and see if we can get a frontal view ;-))

    Carl can you right click the other image and then put it into saved file and then transport to your image host like photobucket or imageshack ? I use the former with good success for this fine forum. also who is the maker of the award ? looks great man

    Hi 272VGD, I tried to repost the link t the pic but, I get the same error message. However, below here, im asking to see if Erich can copy the pics from Frank and Brians site and move them here.

    My badge is a mid-war zinker and some of the silver finish has turned to tarnish-on the left side but still retains most of the right side and on the backside. ;-)) I love the pin on this one as it has a sort of "crimped" look to it's sides as well as the "Coke Bottle" shape it has.

    Hi E, the front and back views are originally on FranK & Brian's site. I think you can get both pics from Franks posting in the No longer for sale topic at the bottom of the site. I can't copy anything and move it using these darn library computers. However, if you can please do a wee favor for me and snag the two pics and move them here, I will be almost eternally greatful ;-D

    The maker is F.W? Peekhaus (SP?) I'll write it down tonight and post the makers for it and my CCC in Bronze-which happens to be the same maker. If I recall, I think this firm was located in Berlin.

    I wish I had pics of my CCC/Bronze, because this one is mint on the front side retaining all of it's Bronze coloring and mint on the backside with the exception of a little bit of rust on the backing-plate.

    Thanks Erich, Nick, Martin, it's not mint but it's still not bad-and at the price I got it for ;-))

    Also, this piece has a slight bit of a curvature to it. This one will go nicely over the 8 place ribbonbar on my Heer Arty tunic. :-D

    Now if I could score a decent DKiG.......

    PS, I wish I had a front and back pic for my CCC in Bronze. That one is a beaut and worth bragging more about. :-D
