No It's just an old-old Nikon

Why does the swaz look odd to me? Looks on the small size

[Lubo]

The other funny thing here, except the swazi is the strange punch hole, but this might be because of the cracked wreath,.....just some obzervations.....

[Alex Bolotnikov]

Thank you for your replies! I'm totally confused... Was going to keep the badge for the collection, but now I'm not sure at all

Hi Alex, In addition to the comments already made below...the lower arm of the swastika on the Juncker badges usually reached the upper recoil mechanism on the 88 and the hole when observed from the reverse usually appears round. Cheers,

I've checked the first pattern Junker Flaks - seems like none of them have round hole

I've made some closeup photos of the swaz. Hope it will help...

Alex with these extra (awesome ) pictures, I'd be leery of the swastika as per "Eagle Eye" George. My bet it has been de-nazi'd and another (poorly formed) swastika soldered back on.

The catch looks a little unusual as well. I wouldn't be too concerned about the hole or the crack in the wreath, but the other concerns would send me away.
