Another Coastal Artillery for review please

[David H]

Hello, hopefully a quick response please.
Was looking at this coastal artillery is it ok or not, I did like one to go on a uniform and this may fit the bill.

Regards

Hi David,

This same badge was posted on GCA in 2011. The variant with this "DK setup" is so rarely posted that it's hard to have a database for comparison. I think it's probably good but I suspect with a refinished wreath. The light grey splash-over on the reverse is what I would expect the obverse finish to look like too at this point.

Best regards,

Here's the example from the collection of the late Jan Arne Straete. This is more obviously repainted as you can see the gold didn't make it into the recesses around the eagle and gun barrel.

Best regards,

Hi,
I agree. Nice and rare variant of Juncker zinc CAB but refinished on the wreath.
Here is my zinc Juncker in almost unworn condition for comparison of the finish.
Cheers,
Hubert
