one more juncker beauty

[-=Re-Sa=-]

Alex, this type of chrome look rivets are typical for Juncker PO and Pilots badges, maybe was a one serie or was some short period when have company Juncker produced such rivets...
I have ben sen a few times such rivets on J3 POs and many times on J3 Pilots badges... like shown eksample.

i wouldn't and can't comment if good or not without hand-inspection

but Alex, your scans are not from J3 badges

here 2 more for compare, J3 rivets not all typical high quality
booth for sure untouched .......... look

still the gold finish on every pics different , light , flash , and ........

Chris my friend ,thats the point!

My dear friends this PO J3 badge its not Japanese microchips 2011 production but its WW2 after 1942 Juncker production badge!Juncker production badges have few diferent types of rivets and none of them are exactly the same.Thats a hand made production!
Please looked the rivets on this link:

and pics of Chris present photos ,they re original no doubt.
This badge it can be sometimes cleaned long time ago like Sasha write in post down here,maybe lost some fabric silver and golden top finish but its original I cant see any problem! And this badge is one of the most beautiful Pilot/Observer badges that I was holding in hands in my 15 years of collecting!

As long as the owner is happy with his badge and can sleep well...that is what is really important.
Sasha, for my personal education,
would you please post some nice close ups of the 3 or 4
textbook rivets that you are referring to.
Not talking about mis-strikes or sloppy work, but textbook examples.
Especially of the rounded chrome type like on Mark's P/O.
When time allows of corse.
Thanks, TC
