Here is your chance to own a nice Close Combat Clasp by JFS with a bright silver wash finish. Not only is this an early first pattern type but it’s about as nice as they come! Textbook in construction and with a beautiful look to it. You’d be hard pressed to find one nicer! 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.
