Hi Marius,

Excellent AC badge you have there . I would say yours is most likely Juncker rather than an unmarked Schwerin. They are close, but matches the die characteristics of Juncker. Does the rivet on the reverse have a little flat spot on top, typical of Juncker rivets?

Marius,

I'm not so sure that your badge is a Schwerin. What makes you believe it is? Personally, I'd say your example is the unmarked Juncker.

Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark!

Hello Tom!

I would be happy to show you, but what is "rivet" I guess I know the norwegian word, but now my hard disk has a on "rivet" hehe

Hi Marius,

The rivet can be seen on the reverse, pretty much in the center of the badge. It is what holds the globe on the obverse to the rest of the badge. On unmarked (but probably Juncker, based on the hinge, pin and catch) AC badges, the rivet has a small flat spot on top, where as Schwerin's were domed.

Hi Rob,

I assume that you are referring to the first badge posted. Well, here is an obverse image of a Schwerin, if we can compare with the first (blurry) badge posted.

And just to get them on the 'same page', here is a Juncker first, and second, the Schwerin.
