Looks like a good 1st pattern Juncker. What is that stuff on the back? Can you brush it off with an old toothbrush in some soap water?
best wishes,
jeff

I think it's been renazzed, the swaz looks wrong and there seem to be traces of a join.

I agree on the originality, looks like a good early Juncker.

If that thing is renazified, they did one hell of a job on the obverse, you cannot see any seam at all!

Hallo
And thanks for you replyes.
Regarding the "suff" on the backside.
I dont think that is from any soldering.
It looks more like something got into the metal.
Because it also on the needle.

And there in no seem to see.

Again thanks for your time.
Best regards
Gulli
