I believe it to be fake.

I bought it and returned it. It purports to be a Juncker but it is the only solid Juncker I ever saw. It is the only solid MGSS badge I ever saw. For that matter it is the only solid badge from WW1 I ever saw. The pins on the back are not the same as other Juncker badges either. I finally found one other posted on GMIC. But if it is real and Juncker started making solid badges then where are the rest of them? I wanted it to be real but in the end I was not convinced. Perhaps it is an early copy.pseudo-expertComment

A early copy but a verry good copy

Just of of curiosity, is it known if these badges were ever made as " replacements" or "private purchase" pieces?Comment

They were phased out after the war so I doubt that was necessary.pseudo-expertComment

Ok! Thanks Don for all the info. It's much appreciatedComment

Here's a little something that fits in with the theme of this thread. It is a Stahlhelm Bund specialty skill identifier badge. It was made for wear on the organization's jacket so people could tell what your specialty was. I believe there are 8 or so different ones.pseudo-expertComment

FYI, Don. There were actually 19 specialty sleeve badges, worn on the lower left sleeve (more accurately badges that referred to the vet's branch of service during the war: e.g. infantry, Jaeger, machine-gunner, cavalry, artillery, pioneer, air force, navy, submarine etc.) + 1 additional badge for the Freikorps - specifically, Regiment Reinhardt. With the exception of the infantry badge (the 1st one below) they're all pretty hard to find.Originally posted by Don D. View PostLast edited by Brian L.; 07-06-2016, 12:34 AM.Comment
