Hi Jay......

......Your badge looks like a Juncker manufactured piece. Or what we used to call a 'Porsche.' If it is not, it's a cleverly made FAKE, based on a Juncker PAB. Clearer pictures can, and do, make a difference in ferreting out the nuances associated with these. Seems to be made of zinc from your images. But, with the bit of yellow showing, it could possibly be tombac. Can you provide weight and measurements?

Hope this helps some.

Hey Guys
Just checking in to see if there are any more opinions.Thanks Jay

Hi Jay. The details, front and back are very soft looking in your photos. The pin looks strange also- too thin and short. Can we get a side shot.

[Giel VW]

That's a copy I'm afraid. Hinge is all wrong, pin is bad, the whole thing is too flat and misses all the details.

[Dennis GT]

Sorry, I do not like it either, the pin alone would be OK because I have seen several with pins replaced. The other details would make it not a good one for me. I'm with Giel on this one.

Hi Jay,

I don't like the hinge and catch on that one, I am also of the opinion that it is a decent repro. If you show a shot of the hinge from the side, it will be even more obvious IMO.

Hi Guys
Well these are the best i can do for now my cameras batteries went dead during the taking of the photos.As for the pin i think it may have been replaced at one point in time.Jay
