A German Second World War Reconnaissance Luftwaffe Flight Bar.
A single example of the Luftwaffe Flight Bar in bronze for reconnaissance flyers. A good early example, heavy quality, non maker marked. Good bronze finish remaining overall. Slight thinness to the dark grey bordering on black patinated finish to the reconnaissance eagle style head, with its original pin, hook and hinge. Close to the right of the central small domed rivet holding the eagle to the main body of the award there would appear to be a small circlet impression, the width and depth of this circlet is identical to the circle that surrounds the central rivet and would appear that when the rivet was fitted in place the punch may have jumped and caused another impression,
good condition £140-£180
