Hi Martin,
Indeed a textbook J2, with an overstamped IMME. I too have never seen this before, but looks legit and only confirms that IMME & Juncker indeed had a connection.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

I'm wondering why there is an "SW 68" marking on a tombak Juncker? I thought that marking was only found on the last of the zincer Pilot Badges.

Hi Mike,
I noticed that as well, however we do know of tombak Luft flaks with the Juncker SW68 marking. Clearly this is not a typical Juncker badge as it is overstamped with IMME, and since we still don't really know when Juncker switched to using the SW68 marking an anomoly like this badge is plausible IMO.
Please do post some better pictures, but what aspects of the details do you not like Gene?

This badge has been discussed couple of years ago, if I remember well the IMME mark was stamped over the juncker mark, someone investigated with a microscope..
Think I've pics on file when this badge belonged to Winckler.
I'v also seen a tombak Juncker glider with the berlin sw 68 mark, which came from Niemann..

My concerns
Hello all.
My only concern with this is not that the Juncker mark is on a Tombak piece......it is the fact that it is on a J2 Eagle and not a J3 Eagle. I have only seen the SW68 mark on a J3 Eagle. It appears to me that this is a complete J2 setup (Wreath and eagle). As of today I have NEVER seen the SW68 stamp on a J2.
