It was awarded to fighter pilots who had completed a specified number of enemy flights. The \u003cstrong\u003esilver grade\u003c\/strong\u003e required a higher number of missions than the bronze grade and is correspondingly rarer. The execution in \u003cstrong\u003enon-ferrous metal\u003c\/strong\u003e (die-cast zinc with brass content) is typical for quality wartime productions and particularly valued by collectors. The preserved \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal case\u003c\/strong\u003e significantly increases the collector's value, as cases were often lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: \u003cstrong\u003eUsed, well preserved for its age\u003c\/strong\u003e – typical signs of wear present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAward: Front Flying Clasp for Fighters, Grade \u003cstrong\u003eSilver\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003eNon-ferrous metal\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: \u003cstrong\u003eOriginal case present\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion: Original (WWII)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Old dealer inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease refer to the scans for an accurate condition assessment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNote\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen purchasing multiple items from my shop, \u003cstrong\u003eshipping costs are significantly reduced\u003c\/strong\u003e.
