Here is your chance to own a great example of a Close Combat Clasp in Gold. Maker marked on the reverse for the producer FLL Incredible detailing as can be seen in the photos and a very crisp example. Produced in zinc with majority of the finish remaining. The Close Combat Bar was instituted on November 25, 1942, by Adolf Hitler, in order to recognize the courage of the German soldier in hand-to-hand combat. This award was completely independent of the Infantry Combat Badge. Presentation of the badge was made by the company, Battalion or Regimental Commander (or equivalent). On March 26, 1944, Adolf Hitler reserved the right to personally present the close combat bar in gold as “the highest infantry decoration”. On August 30, 1944, the gold class recipients were automatically presented the German cross in gold and were permitted to spend 21 days at home.
