A high end Juncker observer fake?

[Bob Stevens]

I have heard some differing opinions on this badge and would appreciate any other input.

Peter's is a 100% guy and if it's wrong, it'll soon be gone.

Hi Bob,

well looking at the small images I can´t actually see anything wrong with it, so if its not an excellent casting I would tend towards good. Nice price on it to, especially with the silver printed case.

I've sended a maill for it last week, but it was already on hold

Here is its brother...both from the same family.
A nice casting, but not authentic IMO. Hinge, catch, material and finishing are not "Juncker".

[Lorenzo Brown]

A better shot of the badge in question..."fake" IMO.

[Lorenzo Brown]

Mark, hinge and catch.

[Bob Stevens]

Thanks Lorenzo. The catch is what concerned me most.I have compared it with a vet obtained Juncker para I have and the hinge is quite different.

[Tim Calvert]

I agree, fake.

The case looks like it might be OK.

Hope the buyer sees this thread.

THis is what I meant.

I also have to agree..

It's "one of those.."...

Makermark came out really bad..,catch..hinge..same typical wear at the back..
Created somewhere between 1995 and now..,just a wild guess..

Bob,

Agree with the negative comments. You pinned it.... the catch is all wrong, and the hinge looks 'dinky'.... the gauge is too small. And as Jos said, the makermark is poor...... looks like someone made it after drinking too much caffeine.


Lorenzo,

I smell A******** M********!

Just piling on.

Looks like Peter has put it on hold. That's a pretty honest move, on his behalf!
