Haven't ever seen images of a Luftwaffe Observer's Badge with the "C.E. Juncker, Berlin SW 68" maker's mark. If anyone has images please post on this forum.
Thank you,
Yuri

Dear Yuri,
I was always told that Junkers Observer badges marked with the SW68 were post war. Am I mistaken?

There's a distinct possibility that these badges existed. Please take a look at the following example from the Mark Miller collection of a Radio Operator's Badge. This is the type of Observer's Badge that I'm looking for:Comment

Dear Yuri,
I was aware that some of the period produced Junker gunners badges were marked MM that included the "SW68". I have an Junker SW68 marked Observer badge in my collection but I believe it to be a reproduction. Badge is very flat and from my point of view is not up to the normal Juner standard.
I am in the middle of a move so I can not post pictures right now but will (later) if you are interested in seeing it.

Yuri,
I'm curious.
Do you have one?

I've never seen an Observer marked with 68, but I do believe in this badge. It would have to be along these lines to make a believer out of me.Comment

Mark, unfortunately I don't.
Tim, I feel the same as you about it if it exists.

I also have never seen a "68" marked Juncker Observer badge, but believe that a few could exist. Juncker made the zinc "68" Pilot, PO and Gunner badges, so it makes sense that Juncker may have also made a zinc Observer....just very rare. If it exists, I would also expect to see the same hinge and catch set-up as on the others.Visit my Badge Collection: http://lbmilitaria.homestead.com/home.htmlComment

Lorenzo,
Really, a Pilot/Observer? I'm not disputing, I'd just love to see one. That's gotta be a rare sucker!
