Rotten Old Bronze IAB unmarked

[saladin]

This poor old chap arrived through the door this morning in a really sad state.
I have given him a wash and dry.
It is a pity how bad storage has deteriorated the badge which I imagine would have looked quite good when liberated in Italy/Austria

Hi Saladin,

I can only agree with Hans, a fine original later-war Juncker.

No worse for wear

This original IAB still has its Hardware intact and hasn't lost any limbs yet either.
It's still in a lot better shape and belying its 70 plus years of age. Congrats

Thank you all for your positive remarks.
The fact that it is a Juncker makes the buy a bit sweeter.
I wont resign it to the box for rubbishy bits.

All the best
Doug

Hi Doug

It certainly has had a tough life, but as already mentioned, it is intact...

.. and now has someone to treat it nice

Graeme

I'll try my best Graeme.
I must admit before I found out it was a Juncker I was going to give it a polish to see if it improved the look.
I will stick with it as it is.
Many thanks
Doug
