New badge

Mike,

Might be better to run new thread on this badge. A lot of the members who know this far better than myself might not come back to this thread since they have already made comments on the above badges.

my take

I will venture an opinion though, the hinge is different and the reverse of the badge is missing that distinctive edge towards the bottom that most of the Juncker Artillery badges have. Take a close look at both of the above examples and you will see what I mean. On the other hand, the pin looks OK as does the catch.

Dear Mike,

Hinge and catch on your example are different because you have a ZINC badge opposed to the TOMBAK badges shown earlier in this thread. However, your badge is textbook.

Thanks Frank and John for the information. I assume this is a late war issue.

Thanks again mike.c.

Mike,

I was going to second John's suggestion, but Frank has resolved the question.

Also, the eagle on your badge is textbook Juncker IMO.
