    PAB Junker?

    Hello!

    I found myself this PAB. Is it correct to say this is a Junker? And is it an original one?

    Thank you in Advance!

      Dear Den,

      Let me break it to you gently, what you found there is the fake of the so-called Juncker type. Biggest giveaway is the flat back (I can´t see that 100% but I am sure you will confirm this, an original should be slightly scooped) and the sloppy shape of the leaves. Leaves on the original are shaped differently, have more character. The ones on the fake are too "wavy" if you know what I mean.

      Take a look at this original badge from Mr. Tim Ball (hope that´s ok Tim) and you will see what I am talking about.

      Cheers, Frank

        Here is a better shot of the kind of fake you have for everybody who is not familiar with it. See, I got burned with that one too sometime in the past , buying it from the net with only a small blurry picture at hand. So welcome to the club. We learn to be able to avoid these mistakes in the future.

        Forgot to add: the metal is also not right. It is a modern white metal better than zink, or possibly "today´s" zinc, but definitely not the greyish wartime zinc we are familiar with.
