Luftwaffe Reconnaissance Clasp in Gold - Imme & Sohn BerlinAn exceptional, textbook example of an early-war Luftwaffe Reconnaissance, Air/Sea Rescue and Meteorological Squadron Clasp in Gold (Frontflugspange für Aufklärer in Gold). This high-end piece is constructed from two pieces of heavy, die-struck Tombak (Buntmetall), retaining a beautiful, deep golden finish with wonderful period highlights. The centrally placed, chemically blackened eagle head provides a perfect contrast and is firmly secured by its original, factory-set rivet.The reverse features a flawless, completely untouched hardware setup, including the classic Imme-style barrel hinge, a sturdy tapered pin, and a round wire catch. Most importantly, the reverse is deeply and crispsly maker-marked with the prestigious firm logo: "IMME & SOHN BERLIN". Introduced on January 30, 1941, this golden grade was strictly awarded to aircrew members upon completing 110 successful combat missions. An investment-grade, early elite flight award that is impossible to upgrade.
