Luftwaffe Stickpin

[Military Antiques Toronto]

This item just walked in the door of my store and though it is maker marked CEJ for I assume CE Junker I also know that anybody who can do silver work could make this so I want to have peoples opinions about it before I price it and put it on my website. It is silver but not marked as such

I have a feeling its a fake.

Hello Dave, I tend to agree with Pete. It looks cast to me and the makers mark is very indistinct. I don't know a lot about pins but the ones I have that are wartime have a spiral twist in the shaft. Real or not it would not be worth a lot I would think.

Anything stand out in particular that you don't like? or just a feeling?

Hi,

From the pictures it looks cast. Is it?

I have a cased example of this Luft employee's pin & don't have good pics of it. Here's the ones I do have to compare.
Your's does look a bit soft & has a cast look to it, but for me hard to tell. Does the pin have the curl on it?

Compare with Greg one it really look a cast. The trimming is really bad

Ron, your's & mine are 100% the same as they should be. Sadly the 1st posted doesn't look good to me.

[Sebastien T]

Yep super nice on Ron

Dear Greg & Ron,

may I add my "civil - most likely administrative - Luftwaffe employee"

insignias.

I'd love to complete the variety and kindly ask if there's a chance

to buy one of those lovely pins shown ?!

Thanks

Wolf
