Nice. Any close-ups?

Morlar

Very impressive. That centre one looks minty.

Jagdtiger

Thanks guys!

Some close ups, more to follow.

1) Cased Day Fighter Clasp in Gold for 100 operational flights.

2) MINT Bomber Clasp in Gold.

3) Reconnaissance Clasp in Bronze for 20 operational flights,
maker BSW (within a clover ♣)

Jagdtiger

Some of the remaining few.

1) What I hope is a better image of the Bronze Recon Clasp, makers mark inset.

2) Cased Day Fighter Clasp in Silver

3) Cased Bombers Clasp in Silver, inset makers mark (R.S.S.)

4)a) Gold Recon Clasp, with Star Hanger (the star hanger was awarded for the completion of 300 operational flights and is of typical zinc construction).

4)b) Silver Recon Clasp.

5)a) Transport/Glider Pilots Clasp in Silver.

5)b) Transport/Glider Pilots Clasp in Bronze, for 20 operational flights.

1) The last one is a Bombers Clasp in Bronze

2) Note the small crack in the wreath at the 8 o'clock position, caused in the factory when the badge was being stamped (This flaw is a feature on many clasps).

3) The Transport/Glider Pilots Clasp in Silver shows clear signs of a factory repair in the exact same position as the clasp above.


That's all of my flight clasps (for now anyway), hope you enjoyed
