Is this one of the replicas discussed, or an original? I appreciate the help - s/f Robert

Hi Robert,
Much better closeups would be needed to be sure, but from what I see, a very nice original Juncker clasp.

Tom, thank you for the initial read. The posted threads and pubs served to bewilder me - lots of opinions out there on these, it seems. I know the pictures I posted are dismal, so I appreciate you reading the tea leaves.
Is it a characteristic of these badges for the bronze to turn goldish? The color had me a bit concerned also.

Robert,
Yes, Juncker used a finish that turns goldish and even has a rainbow type affect, best seen on the obverse. F&BL used a similar bronze finish.
