LW 'Frontflugspange für Transportflieger' in Silver
WH (Luftwaffe) 'Frontflugspange für Transport- und Luftlandeflieger' in Silver (Transport and Glider Squadron Clasp in Silver). The Transport and Glider Squadron Clasp was introduced by 'Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring' on 19 November 1941. The clasps were awarded in three grades of, Bronze for twenty operational flights, Silver for sixty operational flights, and Gold for one hundred ten operational flights. This clasp is a very nice early 'Buntmetall' (tombak) example. The clasp is not visible maker marked, it can very likely be attributed to production by the company of 'C.E. Juncker' from Berlin. The clasp has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The clasp shows great detail and still retains a fair amount of its original silver finish. It is showing great details. Hard to find clasp in very good condition!
