Thanks Ferg. Every once in a while you can find a gem that others overlook or are unsure of. Luckily I got this one for $10 under my max bid price.pseudo-expertComment

Guess I should have bid an extra $20 then!Originally posted by Don Doering View PostRegards

Mike, you were on it too? I saw it the day he posted it, set my bid assistant and forgot about it. I was actually watching a machinegunners badge and an 1870 medal bar and I had to stop both of those because of this badge...pseudo-expertComment

Hi Don,
Yes, but all's fair in love and auctions! Good win. The joys of last second bids - you never know who you're going to bump into. With better pics Bob would have got a much higher price though.

I agree.pseudo-expertComment

Don, no comments... If done the same time as Juncker's silver PAB why aren't the catch, pin and hinge exactly alike???
Or are you settled and happy and wish to leave it alone?
Just saw the auction price, quite the deal...Last edited by Brian S; 03-08-2008, 12:01 PM.Comment

I've sent pics to Philippe and he agreed with the Juncker connection. I'm just not aware of OS making these. Do you have a pic?pseudo-expertComment

And of course I respect anyone else's opinion. But, the match should be exact should it not? If not exact it's merely in the style of Juncker, which could be said of many many articles.Originally posted by Don Doering View Post
No photo of OS. The hinge struck me, but then I'm falling into the same pit by saying it's in the same style, so I'm backing off that.
Also, we should be very careful not to make a final declaration until we see if these start popping up with regularity. As good as it looks to me, and I would have ventured the cash for this as you did to take the chance, it's too early to be sure. These start coming out of the woodwork and making a predictable common apearance on eBay we know what's going on.
Certainly the fake Machine Gunner badge that bears the Juncker mark is in the style of Juncker, but not a match, and thereby not a Juncker.Comment

An update or Conundrum?
What are the chances?pseudo-expertComment

Exactly the same in every way except one has been polished at some time.pseudo-expertComment

The other has a nice patina on both sides. Both marked 800 on the pins.pseudo-expertComment
