you're right

Hello Peter,
The badge you show has no Juncker characteristics whatsoever - all is wrong here right down to the catch!!! The hinge and rivits are too large, the eagle is in a category of its own, definately not a Junker any pattern wreath - you see what I
mean here! Definately not for you!!!!

Peter,

I must agree with Eric. Looks like an attempt to copy a GWL eagle, a BSW hinge and stamp the badge with the Juncker hallmark. Not even close.

Thanks for the responses.

Junker is not a maker I'm familiar with.

Whilst doing some "research" today, I noticed that it had no similarities to some of the Juncker reference pics. I located.

Thanks again.

FAKE..FAKE...FAKE!!

HI Peter, the badge, you have posted, comes from a series that was produced about 12 years ago..These FAKES came In, not only, P B's but observers too.. They all had the same wreath and had various maker marks... I've posted a couple of these wrong'uns as a reference...

Thanks for the info. & pics....very interesting.

If only the seller had internet access he could see how wrong this piece is!!
