        Judging from the eagle design, it looks like a good tombac ROAG J4 to me but wait for more feedback to be sure

              J4, as the guys say. IMO the catch may be original with some solder staining to the wreath from the original attachment - it's hard to tell without the badge in hand but I have seen this before with original catches and the catch itself looks good to me. There are others with more knowledge here and I am sure they will be along shortly. Nice badge by the way - a lot of the later types are in zinc so it is nice to see a quality buntmetall version.

                Hi guys,

                Nice looking badge, very hard to find these J4s in Nickel Silver.

                As a Juncker badge, I would agree that the catch is replaced. Juncker preferred brass catches, so the fact that this one appears to be nickel silver surely points to a replacement IMO. However, what is interesting is that the catch shape looks like Meybauer, or even Deumer (pigtail catch). The rivets, pin and maker mark certainly point to Juncker so it doesn't make sense that this badge was put together by Meybauer or Deumer, so maybe whoever replaced the catch coincidently made it look like a Deumer or Meybauer? Or maybe the catch itself is taken from a Deumer or Meybauer badge??

                If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

                  Interesting to see a J-4 in NS even with the a-typical catch replacement.

                      Very late NS badge. Even with the replaced catch, a nice find.
