CCC Silver - C. E Juncker For Review

[Davidbrennan923]

Friends,
I recently acquired this Silver CCC by Juncker and would ask that it is reviewed here.

It has a replaced back-plate that is magnetic and a manufacturing defect “F” instead of “E”.

My two questions are:

Is the Fluted Pin on Juncker standard?

I find the silver tone on this piece a bit strange - could this be a Bronze which has been "upgraded" to silver? i.e. has it been repainted at some time in its life?

I realise that without having it in the hand it's difficult to discern but I'd appreciate your best efforts!










Best,
Dave

It looks like a well worn Juncker on my cellphone screen.
I have never seen a Juncker CCC with fluted pin as this before.

Wait for some more opinions.

It indeed has a chance but the backplate and pin are replacements.

Hi David,

The clasp itself is original, but in poor condition as far as finish goes. I suspect it is not a silver clasp, but rather a bronze one that has had most of its finish rubbed off. The silver you are seeing is the zink base metal of the clasp.

The backplate is a replacement as you say and also the pin is definitely replaced. Juncker did not use fluted pins like this.

An original clasp, but heavily messed with unfortunately.
