Juncker Fallschirmschützenabzeichen Brothers

[BKEHV]

Hi guys,

Posted a picture of my FJ badge earlier but today it's brother arrived so I wanted to share these pictures with you. (Bottom 2 pictures = newest badge)

Also I have a dilemma now. I want 1 example of each badge in my collection, so I have to choose which one to sell...

The badge with the repaired hinge has the initials of the recipient scratched on the back. I like that because it gives it that "been there" touch. The head of the eagle has more detail too but the other eagle has retained it's color much better and the badge doesn't have a single repair or damage.
(check out how nicely the repair has been done on the picture with the hinges! The grooves of the original badge extend into the "plate" of the new hinge)

What to do...What to do...

brothers

whats the problem, keep em both. after all they are both paid for! it would be a great study in how much a badge meant to the original owner. jmho.

Yes, but I could use the money of 1 of the badges to buy another nice item

If I have to choose, I would take the one that does not have the welded hinge.
