Unknown Flak

[Brian S]

I've searched the posted flak badges and I can't make this maker. Anyone see this unmarked flak or is the flak a fake?

fake? flak back

The attachment mechanism looks distinctively Juncker. They used that type of block hinge late in the war, and the catch base-plate was used mid-war on.

Thanks Yuri, went and purchased it. Couldn't resist the gold badge either...

Wreath width 44.5 mm
Wreath length to bot. dip in wreath 55 mm
Eagle wingspan 41

Is consistent with another Juncker set of measurements by Stijn except for his height which at 75 mm makes no sense to me.

...and the back.

I can't match it to a Juncker... Anyone know what this is? Frank, you have them all!

[Frank Heukemes]

Frank, you have them all!

Definitely a myth, Brian, I just own two WL-Flaks! One of them is a Juncker and it has a different obverse design than your badge, that is true. Yuri is right that hinge/catch look Juncker. Your badge looks period, but it doesn´t match any of the makers known to me.

Cheers, Frank

Thanks Frank, I just hate to keep it if I can't identify it. That has left me stuck with the most beautiful Brehmer I ever saw...
