Hello guys,

Is everything allright with this Juncker EK1?

Thanks a lot.

No problems at all, except it's not a Juncker but a K&Q.

That is a really beautiful cross with just the right patina!

Not to mention wonderful pictures.

I agree with Trevor

Yes K&Q .

From time to time I get shown and asked about the a cross like that one and understand where the confusion can come from .
Those starting off at first glance looking at the pin set think they have a Juncker . K&Q pins are mostly straight .
Except for the pin being axis rotated 180 degrees (mirror image) ... the pins themselves are about a match - with the same curved top (- its purpose still eludes me) .

Looks a cross cased from end of the war! One of the nicest ever seen!

Thank you gentlemen for your responses and especially to Douglas for his comparison.

The curve of the pins are they factory made or they were bend by time while pinning them on the uniforms ?
thanks

Because they are identical shape - the pin is rotated 180 degrees on the axis - I would say some may have been done by the manufacturer . .. but not all - mine are straight .
