Not good.

Hi Bill,

I believe all models of Junckers, including the 5 rivet models, used a sculptured wreath. Someone will know for sure, but this one looks to me like a good copy of a pretty rare DK.

bad copy of C.E. Juncker! the date shield, the dentiform and the wreath!

Juncker used two types of wreaths. The earlier one is quite rare. But you are right - both have a sculpted wreath (i.e. leaf tips sticking out). Only Zimmermann and Klein (obviously) used the smooth rimmed wreath.

Thanks guys I did a search and found examples of the sculpted leaves

Thanks, Dietrich.

For a novice, this DK looks pretty convincing. Twenty years ago, who would've known?

Late to the party here but I also think the numbers in the date are a dead give away!
The 1's are horrific in appearance!

Very nice as filler until you get the real thing.
