Perfect Juncker and as Jelle pointed out on previous thread kind of beat up but that is great lots of character on this one. I believe this is type E -

Wow! That was quick: I usually have to wait years between new finds and you get 2 in a week!
Wait for the experts but I think its a type "D"" according to Tom's para badge classification. Original but it does show enough flaws to be a great example of what Jelle was talking about and not a very good match for the the great looking J2 Pilot you shared recently ...
IMO:
1) Weird/mishaped swaz outline
2) Butchered 1st talon cut out (eagle breast is "squared off")
3) No oxidized finish on wreath
4) Sharpened pin (was probably blunt like your pilot pin originally)
Mine is a far cry from the best one around but you can see the differences. Personally, I would wait for a better one
Cheers

Love the one posted, the 3 I once owned all had the butchered 1st talon and the smaller arm on the swas..
There probably was a need to butcher that eagle.., swastika less pronounced, swas too thick or something.., must say it stands out much more that way.
