I dont like it either, MM is way off

Eagle lacks the fine details of the originals and looks cast. Maker mark all wrong, etc.

Catch isn't as it's supposed to be on a J1, the wreath is wrong and when you see the back of it you see that the metal is wrong and...

Ya, agreed with the others, the rivets are also a bad sign

Looks like a high quality fake to me too.

Hi Eddie,

I can only agree with the others, a very well made fake. Looks to be a decent casting of an original, with a nice attempt at the rivets and hardware. But still quite a good bit wrong with it in terms of obverse detailing as you noticed, and especially the maker mark. But a nice attempt and pretty scary if you are not well-versed in what real Juncker badges look like.
