Reproduction of box in which Close Combat Clasp (Nahkampfspange) came. It was made of cardstock, thus very few survived till today (i.e. originals are rare and cost a lot of money).

It comes with correct purple wrapping paper inside.

 

It's available for each grade:

  • bronze (Stufe I) for 15 days of close combat (reduced to 10 if wounded),
  • silver (Stufe II) for 30 days (reduced to 20 if wounded) and
  • gold (Stufe III) for 50 days (reduced to 40 if wounded)

From 30 August 1944, recipients of the gold clasp were also awarded the German Cross in gold and recipients of the silver clasp - the Iron Cross first class. Both without the need for any further justification.

From 8 October 1944, those awarded the gold clasp also received 21 days special leave. Gold clasp would be awarded by Adolf Hitler himself. Only 631 were ever awarded (less than Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross).
