pilot badge fake?

[rosenrot85]

Hello

What do you think of this badge? I wondered if it was a good piece... I read on the forum that juncker made 57 medals ...

Best regards

Hi Laurent!
I don't know where on the forum you read that Juncker made 57ers, but IMO this is wrong!
We have never seen any genuine 57ers by Juncker, only pieces with a fake MM added!!
This Pilots badge also looks to have, originally, a swastika, look at the area around the claws, many square edges where the swaz was removed I think.

Definitely a chopped up copy. Not sure the eagle is even close to a Junker one to start with.
