A German Second War Luftwaffe Flight Bar for Fighter Pilots in Gold.
A very fine example of the short range Day Fighter Clasp in gold in its original fitted case. The award has good gold finish, slight toning to the lower section of the left hand wing otherwise some traces of illuminated gilt to the edges of the central wreath, the upward pointing central arrow still having its patinated finish. On the reverse side it is with its correct wide tapering pin constructed in Tombak, unmarked, the central rivet that holds the arrow pointing upwards to the main body of the award normally delicately domed, in this instance the operative has slightly flattened the rivet during construction. Original fitted case with scratches to the edges and good gilded lettering to the exterior of the box, which reads ‘Front Flugspange Fur Jager Gold’, some slight losses of the paper cover to the box on the base, very good condition £200-£240
