One of the nicest Juncker crosses I've seen in a long time. Congratulations on a nice find!!! I just love how the paint is barely worn through to the high spots of the brass core.
The man i´ve got it from said the cross he enherited from his Grandpa. I asked him if the name on the backplate would match his Grandpas name.
He said it did´nt. On the backplate it says v Stosch. My quick reserch resulted in that there was a Hans Gottlieb Graf von Stosch listed as i GCiG holder. Also a Kapitänleutnant Wilhelm von Stosch existed he was commander of the Minenschiff Juminda. Interesting.

You can see the 'crunch bead' in posts #1&2 through a magnifying glass. It's hard to see but still detectable. Also the outside corner beading is typical 2. form.
