Luftwaffe Bomber Clasp in Gold by Juncker
A J1 - 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 tombak / 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-full back reverse shows a recessed lathed portion with a center rivet, a soldered-on tombak round wire catch, soldered on tombak barrel hinge and sturdy tapered tombak pin. It displays wonderful detail throughout; the blackened arrow is a perfect contrast to the golden exterior. It measures 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall. A great clasp.
