Hi Gehrmann,

Firstly, welcome to the WAF forum, if you are into WW2 militaria this is the best place to be.

The clasp you show is a fake in my opinion. IMME & Sohne made Luftwaffe flight clasps, but the one you show is not an original. Here is what a good one looks like, from solo's excellent collection.

Welcome. Gehrman, as Thomas mentioned, this is a great place to learn, see examples of original badges, and best of all the people that "wrote the book" (like Tom Durante) are here to help. Enjoy!

Thank you both for your input.The price seemed way too reasonable for it to be a good one ($300)

Ive been gathering the basic medals and such over the past few months (wound badges,ek2,all the war merit crosses,ostfront,etc) and now would like to start advancing my collection.Its a tough road out there,and Im so happy to have experts like yourselves there to back me up!
