Anti Partisan Badge. Could this be an original one

[262a]

This is the first time I have been close to an Anti Partisan badge. Could this be an original one.
Help please.

Yes, from these "not good" pictures it looks a fine original type 3 badge.

I am not going to dispute the master - but really some better pics please.

In general I do not like the fact that so often 2nd opinions are asked based on just inferior pics that do not show us the details clearly we need to see. Moderators, can anything be done to ensure people uploading better quality pics?

Anti Partisan Badge.

Thank you for the comments of a forum member ref the photos and yes I do understand where you are coming from. I will try to obtain a better camera to take much better photos.
Thank you all once again.

I noticed that on the back of the badge there are what look like breaks in the outer ring. On the left side it looks to be repaired (welded). When looking on the front of badge you see nothing. To me something is not right. Maybe better pics would explain this.

Pics are not the best, but I am also confident its a fine original Juncker.

They are quite typical cracks you can often see in these badges. Most of these cracks were factory repaired and this is why soldering is well made, covered by the finish and often not visible in the obverse.

Thanks Antonio for the information on the crack repairs. I have been studying these APB's and notice the conditions range from excellent to no rating. To the potential buyer maybe you could use the repairs in your favor to lower the price. A dealer here in the US has one asking $5,400.
