Hi Pierre,
Thisis one of the many Juncker Luft para fakes that blight the hobby. There are a few problems with it, but the dead giveaway is the makers mark. Take a look at the original one below, they should (unless unmarked) ALL look like this:
Note the upright of the 'L' in Berlin leans backwards to the left, and the angular shape of the 'S'. These two nuances are critical to determining if a badge is genuine or not besides as already mentioned, several other anomalies I shall let lie for obvious reasons.
Regards, Ned.

Looks a bad one from here as well, the "cut out" of the swastika as it approaches the talon area looks incorrect to me. Leon.
Hi Ned,
Thanx a lot for your opinion and eagle eye as usual. Experience is power!
I was very close to buy it actually (the price was 300€ which would have been a very nice price if it were a good one) but fortunateley I've asked...
best regards,
Pierre

you are definitely right but I already bought thanx the same website some underpriced awards that have been confirmed authentics on the forum (ASA and ISA at 30€, KVK1 at 60€...). So I keep hoping to be lucky sometimes ;-)
