J1 Pilot / Observer Badge

[EK Collector]

Hello

I want to sell this P/O badge.
Can you please check it?
It should be a textbook badge in great condition.

Thanks for the help.

Looks like a genuine Juncker po in worn condition.
Provide some extra pictures of the catch to make sure it’s not resoldered.

Thanks for the opinion!
I think everything is fine here ...

Thanks for the additional picture.
It does look like an original Juncker catch, i only wonder what caused the discoloration near that area. Would love to see it in hand and from the other angle.
Like i said for me it's a genuine po. It's not the sharpest example, the cut-out near the talons and in the wingtips look like a monday morning job but it's a nice badge anyway.
You can be fairly sure this badge has been worn for some time, note the deep grooves on the wreath caused by the needle going into the catch.

Thanks. You can have it in hand when you buy it
Here one more picture.. you helped me a lot !

You have to admit the catch is in a weird position. Never seen one especially a PO where it was so high up on the wreath.


But then I see some pics of one Frank S sold a while back and the catch is way up there too.

Thanks Guys for your help!
So it’s a nice Original Badge without repair
Great !!

Nice badge. Maybe it even came out of the same hand, like my J1 PO. Intriguing similarity wing cutting : )

As in the example of Robin and FS, catch soldering is also high.

ps: unfortunately my badge is "mutilated"
