        Nice but I think the center disc just came off rather than having been denazified

              Van,

              I agree with Gene that the center probably came off over the years. It would be poor job of de-nazifying to take off the center and leave the 4 eagles.

              I would lean toward Juncker as the maker as well, the hinge and catch look like theirs.

                    Sure thing Dave, I meant to do so,
                    It was brought back by a Sgt. in the 75th Div. 291st infantry, he got it near Remagen.
                    I do have his name but not sure if it kosher to print it or not... let me know I can provide his name.
                    Unfortunately that is the extent of the information provided.

                      Thanks Van

                      I wonder if the lost pin has something to do with the way it was removed from the living/dead soldier
