Hi John,
It looks like original tombak Juncker CAB Flat wire catch variant but cleaned to raw tombak.
Here is mine for comparison.
Cheers,

Hi John,

i agree with Hubert.

The badge looks like a good tombak Juncker,beleived to be a later variant with the flat wire catch.

Badges that we beleive to be of earlier production by Juncker feature a round wire catch.

Thanks for the replies. This badge doesn't appear to have ever had a different finish on the center artillery piece. Did they ever make them without plating the center design?
