Luftwaffe Bomber Clasp in Gold by Juncker
A J4 - Luftwaffe Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in Gold by C. E. Juncker of Berlin. Instituted January 30, 1941, the Bomber Clasp, Kampf und Sturzkampfflieger (Heavy, Medium and Dive-Bomber) in Gold was awarded for 100 combat missions. It is constructed out of two pieces of die struck / stamped zinc / nickel-silver that has been gold gilded / chemically blackened and covered in a protective lacquer coating. The obverse depicts a centrally placed blackened downward pointing “winged-bomb” 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-fullback reverse shows a recessed portion with a center rivet, a soldered-on steel round plate flat wire catch, soldered-on steel sheet metal hinge and steel coke bottle pin. The badge is aged with some oxidization to the steel and the zinc has absorbed some of the gilt. It measures 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall. A fine late war piece.
