      IMO seems to have all the characteristics of a Juncker. The date shield, wreath and rivets look good. Screw back has been very well applied. I think its an original cross converted to screw back for wear. I like it.

          Very nice original Juncker piece but hard to tell when it was converted. The traces of the missing set up are still visible.
          Kind regards,
          Giel

            Wow... I wonder how often this was done? I've seen holes where the DKiG is on tunics before, but I've never seen this modification on an actual award. I bet this would have been for a senior ranking officer, due to the quality and cost for the modification. This is a beautiful looking example.

              It's a hard one for me, what should the price be for this DK? More or less than a normal unmodified Juncker?

                What would stop it from spinning all day long?

                  Being vaulted the ray points would do it.

                    The price is a difficult one. I collect variants but only factory originals and would pay more for them than this however this is different so really its as much as anyone would be willing to pay? which really doesn't answer your question. I would try the same price for a Juncker or maybe a little less and see who goes for it. If your intention is to sell that is.

                      My original Juncker (pin back) is not vaulted in a way that rotation without anti-rotation device would be avoided. Juncker knew that, too. That is why a (IMHO) early factory-made piece has an anti-rotation pin. Like this one: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=607494

                      Since it is clear that this one is a privately converted piece and not an original factory-made piece, the price IMHO opinion should reflect that, i.e. it should be lower.

                        I agree with Dietrich, lower price. But, the market will decide. Someone might really value a non factory conversion, who knows.

                          Low activity levels would keep it from spinning.

                            The Soviets were pretty active and did not really seem to have any problems with this format of award.

                              Hi,
                              I like this original DK, conditions are very good, not common to find without chips.
                              DIfficult to say when was converted...but they have done good job.
