Obverse detail looks soft, reverse detail appears to show signs of casting and photos are bad. I wouldn't put any money down based on these images.
This one looks like the common Juncker type two 3 cutout fake but better pic's are needed. When they are as ambiguous as this you need to be concerned, why not take a simple straight on front and back shot? Because that will give the game away. As Glenn said, the detail is soft and the odd tapered flat pin is not found on originals. The base metal also looks dead wrong.

Enough said. A bad fake indeed!
Cheers and have a good weekend
thanks guys !! I will save my money !!!
Better pics would be interesting....
very poor.
They would indeed, but I am sure better pics would only highlight more casting flaws and areas of skullduggery.by Kradmelder
The production quality of original Juncker Bandenkampfabzeichen goes from very poor to very good. For example you can also find Nahkampfspangen from Juncker they are looking also to cast, but they are original.
