.....I don't know Hauptman,

this cross has a good older looking age and the measurements are very closed to originals but I cannot said is a textbook of Juncker cross because

- metal's reverse side finished is not right as must be
- rivets looks strange ( but maybe is from photolight to light)
- number "2" not the usual used character
- 1941 is not closed as Juncker 1941 ( but both "1" are not good visible, please do a more closed photo)
- enamel looks with round strike as done from machine-reverse too-
- the top tip of the tombak star are not a Juncker type
and other little particulars.

I have doubts but maybe I have wrong mind in this moment and Gordon can say something more then me.

Round 2

Just my pennies worth...

I am ready to be proved wrong but I'm with Ivan on this, not quite textbook.

It may be a minor and possibly irrelevant detail but to me the central rivet is way off centre which I would not have expected from a Juncker made item. Also the centre rivet seems pointed in shape as opposed to the typical blunt ''button' shape I have seen on Juncker DK's. As Ivan pointed out the 2 is a different shape, the upper curl on the number being much less pronounced than the usual to me.

Just my opinion but I wouldn't buy it no matter how cheap it was.

Spend a fraction of the money on a pair of Nike trainers and run away from this badge.
