Obverse and reverse details look soft to me.Comment

Hi Erich,
The edges and details looks really soft, my thought is that it is a casting of an original J2 Juncker badge and then marked with JMME. While this combination is known on originals, this badge doesn't look to be made by either maker. Reverse hardware looks to be like JMME, but not quite correct. The finish is also definately not correct for a Pilot Observer, but it even seems to be wrong for just a regular pilot badge.
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

Hi Erich,
My opinion the badge don't look original, poor details and wrong material , looks poor iron, like many fakes around.

I agree, IMO not good. Someone is now selling it as a P/O????
Or is that a typo Erich?
It was sold as a pilot (for big bucks) a few years back @ LG.Comment

ErichS;I agree with Larry Lipps that is not a P/O badge.Even if it was real a P/O badge has a guilted wreath!The badge as stated by other members is a fake! I would suggest that if you can pickup one of the books on luft badges try to get Ailsby's book "COMBAT MEDALS of the THIRD REICH".Their are many photos of many badges not just Luft. in color.Might help you in the future.CarlComment

Again, thanks for all your opinions. This badge was part of a large collection that I was considering. My interest is only Political pieces and I would have sold the Military pieces to recoup some of my investment. This badge and a few others are fake and I have since passed on the purchase. Best, ErichComment
