The Oak Leaves & Swords with Diamonds were introduced 15 July 1941. These were all handmade of multi-piece construction. Gebr. Godet & Co. produced the first 3 sets by drilling out mountings in a stamped set of Oak Leaves & Swords. These were awarded to Oberst Werner Mölders, General der Jagdflieger Adolf Galland, and Major Gordon Gollob.
The Oak Leaves measured 19.9 mm by 30.1 mm and weighted 9.3 grams.
They are typically marked "900" and "21". Of the 3 awards produced, all are known. Production was then moved to the firm of Otto Klein in Hanau. Otto Klein produced 24 sets consisting of an award clasp (A piece) and an everyday wear clasp (B piece). The awards were made of four pieces assembled using three rivets. The award clasp was made of platinum and diamonds, measured 22.4 mm by 32.2 mm, weighted 14.4 grams, and were marked with a "k" in a circle and "900PT". The everyday wear clasp was made of silver and brilliants, measured 22.5 mm by 33.3 mm, weighted 9 grams, and are marked with "k" in a circle and "935". Of the 24 sets produced, 21 are known.
