Luftwaffe Bomber Clasp in Gold 'FLL'

Luftwaffe Heavy, Medium & Dive Bomber Squadron Clasp in Gold (Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger). The 'Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger und Sturzkampfflieger' was introduced by 'Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring' on 30 January 1941. The clasps were awarded in three grades of, Bronze for twenty operational flights, Silver for sixty operational flights, and Gold for one hundred ten operational flights. This is a nice early tombak (Buntmetall) example of the gold grade clasp. The clasp is not visible maker marked, it can be attributed to production by the company of 'Friedrich Linden' from Lüdenscheid being a rarely seen manufacturer. The clasp has naturally a functional pin & catch construction. The clasp still retains a fair amount of its original gold finish. Nice original clasp in good condition!
