Ground dug Juncker Flakkampfabzeichen, original or not?

Hey Adrian,
as requested daylight pictures of the badge.

Thanks for additional photos Steve, I don't have any problems with the badge. When was the hinge and pin replaced? Since it was dug up?

Beautiful items in amazing condition!

Items found in sand or very sandy soil are most of the time in very good condition.

Yep, it was repaired(I don't know if it was replaced or just fixed back in place) after it was dug-up, but I didn't ask when.
I've got also a dug-up Erdkampfabzeichen in my collection.
If you want I'll post some pictures of it?
Cheers,
Steven
Edit: I just asked my friend for the hinge and pin and he confirmed that it was replaced.

You can certainly post your Erdkampfabzeichen, start a new thread for it.

Do you mean your friend replaced the hinge and pin?

[WW2Hunter]

A friend of his did, he also told me that the actual hinge and pin are not correct for a Junckerabzeichen, but they didn't have the correct one at hand.
I know it has been messed with, but hey it was freebee, so still very happy to have it in my collection.
I'll post the Erdkampf abzeichen ASAP.
Cheers,
Steven
