I read on the Crosses forum a little while ago that Juncker didnt make any 57 re-issues.When I compaired a 57 retired pilots badge that I recently bought,with pictures of a pre 45 Juncker badge on a dealers web site and also with one in Formans guide I was surprised to see that all three were from the same die.
Of course the 57 has been de-nazified.The swastika in the die has been filled in and the area around it reshaped.But from the swastika upwards all the details are the same (allowing for the absence of fine filing around the oaks on the 57 )
Anyone who has pictures of a wartime Juncker badge or who has the badge can compare them with these pictures of mine and see if they agree with me. Cheers Franco
I managed to post a picture of this badge further up the list. See 18/2/06
