Just out of curiosity this cross is listed on estand for 1000$, is there something
special about it or the mm. I ask because i dont know. The IC´s i have seen for sale are much lower priced

Thank you

[ANDY BUTKUS]

It's priced lower than dealer prices...

As you will find out in time, original Juncker EKI's are worth much more than other maker's because of rarity. In this case, being a screwback, and properly marked, it is even more rare.

Not only are they rare, but they are very desirable, as are all of Juncker's badges, crosses and medals. The name Juncker is synonymous with Tiffany's of New York in quality. So it's not just a metter of rarity, but of rarity and quality combined.

Browsing the many TR dealer's sites, you'll see that Juncker-stamped pieces bring a higher price. Searching the various WAF forums, you'll see why. Their quality and attention to detail is excellent, excluding Juncker's flak badges.

Thank you for the explanation. I will search the threads for info about Juncker i find this interesting and would like to look into this further.

Some crosses were made for Juncker, and sold by Juncker.
And stamped for Juncker.

As far as I know there were three companies who made EK's for Juncker. Juncker's factory was bombed-out:
1. K&Q '65'
2. S&L '4'
3. W&L '100'
