Default France and Germany clasp

Hi Guys, can I have some advice on this France and Germany clasp for wear with the Atlantic Star? The 'A' and 'N' in France look badly formed to me compared to the other letters, almost flat, or it could be my eyes! Anyway, in this world of fakes I thought I'd get some opinions, cheers,

Paul

Hi Jo, your link seems to confirm that the clasp I have has badly formed letters present, particularly when looked at under magnification, unless I'm missing something? Cheers,

Paul
