Excellent condition, Sterling silver hallmarked 835 and made by jewelry firm of Johann Wagner und Sohn. Norway, on 2 June, the Luftwaffe launched a final series of raids on Narvik itself. Three aircraft were lost by I./StG 1 on this day, and two in the second wave to attack the port. - Lt Klaus Küber and his gunner were killed when their Stuka crashed near Fagernes following an attack by a No 46 Sqn Hurricane I flown by Sgt B L Taylor, whilst Feldwebel Hans Ott and Sönderfuhrer Brack (the later attached to I./StG 1 as a war correspondent) survived with injuries after they were downed by Fig Off John F Drummond who was also flying a Hurricane I from the same unit, the Stuka crashing at Abisko in Sweden.
