    Silver Air To Ground Combat Clasp

    The Luftwaffe Air to Ground Clasp was awarded to members of German Air Force support squadrons in Bronze for 20 operational flights, Silver for 60 operational flights, and Gold for 110 operational flights.

    It was established rather late in the War on May 13, 1944 to replace the previous clasp which had a downward pointing arrow that was established in April, 1941 and awarded to all of the qualifying "Day Fighter" Squadron members.

    This newer award badge was intended to honor the more specific group of Combat Airmen.

    Here is the Award in Silver......

                Hi Ron,

                Gorgeous Osang clasp! Textbook in every regard as far as I am concerned, the only type of Osang clasp I would want in my collection.

                I believe the Schlachtflieger clasps were created in April 1944.

                If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
