Looks like a good one! I guess the Prague bar is marked for Juncker?

Hi Adrian,

The Prague bar is not marked, but it is well know as a Junker made because it's fastening format.

Hi Adrian,

Can you give any more details please? Were Juncker the only maker to use this type of fastening?

Hi Adran,

I confess I don't remove ribbon to look for the MM behind the bar because I'm afraid to damage it but comparing with L/12 marking position in others Jucker's bars I think it's a unmarked one. I'm not a Prague Bar specialist and I read this information about Juncker's Prague bars somewhere I don't remember some times ago. I collected some threads from WAF with pictures from others makers, you can see mine is similar to the L/12 markeds.

L/12: Another Jucker with similar fastenings

L/15 Fastenings similar to Juncker's but a little bit small

Thanks Ricardo,
I'm not doubting your judgement, just want to understand what makes an unmarked award identifiable to a particular maker. It always helps to get as much information on the forum for everyone to benefit from.
