A Luftwaffe Frontflug-Spange für Transportfliger in Silber by Friedrich Orth of Wein. The Transport and Glider Clasp was instituted on November 19, 1941 and was awarded for 60 operational sorties. It is constructed out of two pieces of die struck nickel-silver/zinc alloy that has been silver washed/chemically blackened. The obverse depicts a centrally placed blackened open winged Luftwaffe eagle, clutching a swastika in one of its talons. The eagle is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The wreathed eagle is flanked by four round cut outs and two nine-piece oak leaf clusters. The full back reverse shows a central hollow rivet, a soldered-on steel flatwire catch, soldered-on steel sheet metal hinge and steel fluted pin. They all remain in working well condition. Nice detail throughout! It measures 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall. A great example!
