LW Comm/Gunner Badge

I posted this in the wrong forum yesterday, so here it is. Thanks JC. Any chance of being legit?

Thank you,

Hi again Chuck

I'm no expert here either but at least your badge can be reviewed by more knowledeable folks here if I muck it up

This badge is supposed to be a J2 ROAG (1st pattern Juncker thin wreath with second pattern Juncker eagle) like the nice original specimen shown below (photo credit to Lakesider).

To me the wreath is wrong, the hardware (hinge/pin etc.) is wrong and the rivets are wrong. The bird is OK for a Juncker J2 but it seems to lack detail so I'm not sure if its a cast eagle or a worn specimen used in a put together badge

Fake for me as well. The details are not crisp enough on the eagle and the wreath and hardware just look wrong.

Best wishes

Yep same for me a very good fake.

I can only agree, a decently made case fake. From the front it looks really good, but the reverse is quite crude compared to original Juncker products. Especially early Juncker badges like this one purports to be.
