thank you for your opinion!

IMO, it’s a nice 3-flaw, crunch-bead, teardrop 9-cored Juncker EKII.

Could someone please help turn my ignorance to knowledge by showing the difference(s) in the two types (1&2) of Juncker’s teardrop cores?

Here we are Robert : high and low sitting dates with same reverse 1813 .

Hí Douglas

what is the difference the two date number between ?

Besides that , he quality of painting is different  and its material?

IMO same die ,but possible that , I'm wrong ???

[Dietrich Maerz]

The distance between the tip of the swastika and the top of the numerals is identical on both cores. For the date to sit higher or lower, that distance would need to change.
Most likely an assembly problem, but same core.

[Robert P.]

I tend to agree with Dietrich; the core in the left cross is actually sitting higher in the frame than the core in the right cross causing an illusion(s) with date(s). Look at the swastikas on both crosses, their position in relation with the frames, and you’ll see one core is actually higher in the frame than the other as Dietrich suggests. As he states the distance from the lower tips of both swastikas to their dates is identical.

In and out a lot today but try to respond :
The flanges on the emblem tells all .
Not the same die master ... flanges do not change back and forth during production .

Lets start with one type which may be surprizing :

And a close up of both having the same date design .
