Heer Para Good or Bad ?

[Shaun Winkler]

Hi Guys

A friend of mine has just sent me picture of his Heer Para Badge, I have given him my opinion but would like to hear what the experts have to say.

Thanks
Shaun

Hello Shaun,

IMO this is a repro. there are some points that make me thinking this.

The most obvious is the eagle. There is a "line" going from the neck to the back and that shows that it is a cast copy.

I added a pic where I highlighted the areas I mean and made the line "visible" with a black colour.

Also there´s a lack of details in general. I would pass on this one

Kind regards

Martin

It is real hard to find a good one in reasonable price.

Hi Shaun,

I can only agree with the others, this is a reproduction.

Chris' is what a textbook Juncker should look like.
