well...unfortunately, it looks wrong to me. The Bombers had the bomb facing downward to the swaz, but the Fighters (with the skinny bomb like yours) should be facing Up and away from the swaz. Here's a good link to show what I mean: Luftwaffe Badges

"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
So, it's a Bomber's clasp,then?
Eh, no Dean. It's profile is that of the fighter clasp, but facing the wrong way, so probably bad.
Tom
hmm.. Any other opinions? 'Probably' doesnt cut it. Did they EVER face down? Thanks.

Its supposed to be a long range night fighter (arrow pointing down, black wreath) but I think its a copy.
Also the flower pendant and all numbered pendants were only made in zinc.

Numbered pendants were also better aligned than this one,soft details too sorry. Stewy
I'm going to say fake for a few reasons. Details too soft, finish not right, the hanger should be made of zinc if I remember correctly, not of exactly the same material as the clasp. The trimming outlines are soft, the fit of the winged arrow onto the clasp is very poor.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
I found this.
Also a fake. Just look at the winged arrow, at least the one on the first bar looks like one should.
