A Luftwaffe Frontflug-Spange für Jäger in Gold by C. E. Juncker of Berlin. The Short-Range Day Fighter Clasp in Gold was instituted January 30th 1940 and awarded for 110 combat missions. It is constructed out of two pieces of die struck tombak / nickel-silver that has been gold fire gilded / black burnished and all finished in a lacquer coating. The obverse depicts a centrally placed blackened upward pointing ‘flying arrow’ that is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath that is tied together at the bottom with a stagnant swastika and is flanked by four round cut outs and two nine-piece oak leaf clusters. The semi-full back reverse shows a recessed lathed portion with an off-center rivet, a soldered on tombak round wire catch, soldered on tombak barrel hinge and sturdy tapered tombak pin. It displays wonderful detail throughout and the gilded highlights are superb! It measures 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall. A beautiful piece!
