Very nice Don, can't make out the initials on that one but it looks right.

Nice ones AJ. Here is a new Fake Juncker style listed on ebay right now. The seller lists it as a fake but once it is out of his hands who knows....
Note the skinny legs have been changed to the thick version.

Does AlpineMilitaria have this one for sale? I emailed him last week and give him a tutorial on how to tell the difference between his fakes and the real thing. He replied to my rant but didn't seem to be too amused. Ammersee

This one is out of Europe. Where is AlpineMilitaria from?

[Ammersee]

Don't hold me to it, but I think they're in Missouri. Ammersee

Tom, I like it. Is it flat or convex?

[tgn]

convex...

[Don D.]

Is the badge magnetic? The backing plate?

[tgn]

The badge is magnetic. The back plate is not. Are these good signs???

The badge is fine. If you ever tire of it please let me know.
