New(Fake) Juncker para Badge

[heinrich66]

Hello,

i just recieved a Juncker Badge yesterday.The whole Badge ist just 1-1,5 mm smaller (in everything) than the normal size. The Eagke of the Badge is equal to the original pieces. (Even the talons, eyes, the markers mark,swastika mistakes ....), while the wreath seems not similar to the normal wreath's , i've seen. The needle system seems to be an of the very early badges (not as wide as on the most Juncker badges). It also has a "C"-catch. The needle itself is not as thick as the original.

Have anybody seen a similar badge? Or have an explanation for this ?

Greetings

If it is slightly smaller than an original one, then it is probably a copy or a fake cast from an original. How much did you pay for it and how do you know it is smaller than an original?

Hello ,

i just paid 140 Eur (= 135 $) for the badge.
I just compared the badge to my originals ( one with the thick wreath and one with the smaller wreath. All the copies i've seen haven't an identical juncker mark on the backside.Even with the curved "S" . The eagle also has die struck chracteristics.

Greetings
