Stunning - and truly detailed! - 'Buntmetall'-based- (albeit non-maker-marked) specimen of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Frontflugspange für Aufklärer in Silber' that comes stored in its early-war-pattern etui as issued and/or stored for decades

This is a truly very attractive and/or pronounced, 'Buntmetall'- (ie. silvered tombak-) based example of a non-maker-marked version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Frontflugspange für Aufklärer in Silber' (or: silver-class reconnaisance-pilots'-clasp ie. FFS) that comes stored in its early-war-pattern etui as issued and or stored for decades. The superb piece comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem only moderately used- and/or worn-) condition and retains simply extraordinary detail. It retains most (ie. all!) of its period-applied bright silver-toned finish: the bluish-black-coloured- (and/or equally 'Buntmetall'-based-) eagles'-head-device (which is additionally attached to the clasp with a single rivet) is equally detailed and also retains all of its silver-toned and minimal 'tarnished' finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The clasp comes naturally in great shape ie. order: the (silver-coloured- ie. also 'Buntmetall'-based-) pin- ie. pin-attachment and/or single rivet are in fine (and/or undamaged nor repaired-) order. The catch is also in great undamaged order and of course fully functional. The clasp - which is most likely a quality-produced example as was produced by the the: 'C.E. Juncker'-company (as is more often the case) - has never been cleaned nor polished and has a neat and/or slightly tarnished 'age-patina'. It came stored into its darker-blue-coloured- and early-war-pattern etui (which is rare in itself) that comes in an overall nice- (ie. just moderately used-), condition. The etui shows a fully preserved, beige-coloured velvet-like 'inlay' and silk-based inner-lining. Moreover, does it show the golden-toned- (and fully preserved!) text on its top that reads: 'Frontflugspange für Aufklärer - silber' (as can be seen on the pictures). The etui is only minimally used and shows some minimal age, wear and/or staining as can be seen on the pictures. The set originated from a private-household in Germany and was never before part of any collection. Simply a very attractive - and not that often encountered! - fairly 'high-class' Luftwaffe-award that is accordingly priced!
