Luftwaffe Transport Clasp in Gold with Pendant

A Luftwaffe Frontflug-Spange für Transportfliger in Gold mit Anhänger by an unknown maker yet it is likely FLL. Instituted November 19, 1941, the Transport and Glider Clasp in Gold was and awarded for 110 operational sorties. The Star Pendant clasps was awarded upon completion of 250 operational sorties. It is constructed out of two pieces of die struck / stamped zinc / nickel-silver base that has been gold gilded / chemically blackened, has polished highlights and is finished in a protective lacquer coating. The obverse depicts a centrally placed blackened Luftwaffe eagle with open wings, clutching a mobile 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 two nine-piece oak leaf clusters. The star pendant hanging below features a centrally placed star flanked by two sets of two berries and three laurel leaves. The full back reverse shows a central hollow rivet and a soldered-on tombak oval plate c-shaped catch. When I got this there was no hinge or pin so I took one off of a reproduction clasp and glued it onto this. It works well. It displays wonderful detail throughout! It measures 3 inches wide by 1 ½ inches tall. Purchased from the veteran’s family.
