It's no Juncker...Oddly enough, it's marked as a Junker?...
cheers, Glenn

I've got two versions of a Juncker badge in my book (are there more versions?).
Going by those I would say yours is bad. The hinge on yours is short whereas the ones I've looked at are short. Also the hook on yours is like a claw as opposed to the rounder version I'm looking at.
The hardware on your photo looks like hardware from an S&L or GH Osang.
I am, as always, ready to get shot down in flames ha ha!

ThankYou. I consider myself suitably chastised, it won't happen again.

Thanks for the contributions so far Gentlemen.

Hi, as you noted, the quality of the details on this one look very poor and I would not expect that from this maker. Also the Adler looks to have been painted, not a badge I would be looking to buy. Leon.

Certainly one of the many fakes on the market attributed to Juncker. The obvious giveaway is the maker mark which is not a match for that found on genuine Juncker Luft Para badges.
Let's compare:
Original Maker's Mark.
Note the backward leaning 'L' in BERLIN, that is always a feature of the Juncker maker mark. Also note the angular flat bottomed letter 'S' in SW. Another feature that should always be present.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fake Maker's Mark.
No slanting 'L' and a rounded 'S' give the game away at a single glance. Compare the two together and the differences are clear.
There's other problems with the badge that are legion, but this particular error is all you need worry about regarding this particular fake.
@ Jamie:
There are currently 12 variations of the Juncker Luft Para badge known to have existed....So far. There may of course be others waiting to break cover, only time will tell.

Thanks very much Leon and Ned, the details regarding the maker mark are very useful, noted for the future. Thanks again.
