Hello gents,

need your opinions for this badge.

Original Bronze and very nice wear to it. IMO.

The hinge and pin aren’t correct for a genuine Juncker piece I would be concerned that it is a good casting from an original badge- are there any casting seams or flaws evident?

[Ludwig]

Hardware can be replaced, but you are right, for a pretty skilled craftsman, the APBs are quite easy to copy. IMO.
Please provide us with better photos! Sharp!

What about the story of the owner? Of course the badge is a fake.
