    Dear all,

    this one looks very good and it would be nice to get
    some opinions about it.

      Hi Chris there are some really good copies of this award, but personally I quite like this one. Would wait for other opinions. Could probably do with weights and measurement. All the best

          Were these also made with a solid lower arm of the swastika? I have one like this with a completely solid swastika.

                An obvious question at this point in time................ Who made these unmarked zinc examples? From a distance, the hardware (short barrel hinge and rectangular 'C' catch on a circular plate)on Scott's example, looks a little 'Junckerish'. We know that original early nickel-silver versions came both marked and unmarked from Juncker....

                Regards,
                Mark

                  Hi Mark, IMO there is no way of knowing at this time. I don't think it was Juncker as the wreaths do not exhibit any of the hand filing that we typically see on Juncker badges. best wishes,

                    Here is my badge with a nice thick finish which has developed a lot of bubbles. best wishes,

                            Jeff,

                            That is the same type of bubbling that I would like to see on a 25 JFS PAB in Silver, or on a ScHWERIN Uboot Spange.

                            I see your point about hand filing. This one thread I pulled up shows a Flak Badge. Not a lot of hand finishing.

                            Regards,
                            Mark

                            PS - Never saw you pull that beauty out before. Makes me wonder what else you may have hidden!

                              Hi Mark, I see what you mean with that flak badge.
                              I have a few more treats laying around! best wishes,
                              jeff
