Juncker Glider badge & Assman observer badge

[Tazman0000]

Been away from collecting for years but trying to get back into it. Have a friend who does estate sales and came across a bunch of memorabilia and theres a couple pieces I just cant verify the authenticity on my own. So you will probably see a couple of my threads asking for info as I try to get back into the swing of things. All help is appreciated, thanks a bunch.

Both bad fakes

Hi,

The Juncker Glider is a decent repro but has the wrong hardware, rivets and makers mark for starters.

The Assmann Observer is a much better repro, probably one of the older dip-wreathed (Assmann-style) repros but using a well cast Assmann eagle (obvious casting flaws though). Wrong hardware compared to an original as well.

Regards
Mike

Thanks for the info. I figured the juncker was sketchy but thought the assman had potential.

I can only agree with my counterparts, both are copies.

I can only agree, both fakes unfortunately.

As Mike says, the Assmann observer is a pretty good fake especially from the obverse, but reverse hardware setup and rivets, etc. have quite a few differences from original Assmann products.

Welcome back to the hobby, the fakes are good but the WAF membership is better so be sure to post anything you are looking to buy before plunking down your hard earned money.
