Hi all,
I have my eye on this badge and he seems real.
I know I also need a pic of the back side but i do not have that yet.

What do you think of the front? Fake or real?
Thanks

Do you have a picture of its backside?

Net yet... :-(

It has potential

Hello RPMK,
even without seeing the back I think your badge is a reproduction in my opinion.
Every original badge I have seen does not have the cut outs between the legs.

All the best

I missed that Doug. I thought it was part of the badge- but of course, you are right

Thanks John.
Do you know that when I looked at this badge it looks like a first type Juncker but I couldn't decide what it was made of.
The wreath looks tombac..ish but the way the eagle has toned down it looks like a zincer.
It would make a nice discussion piece if it was for sale as a cheap reproduction.

I wonder if it is one of the post war S&Ls that carry the Juncker stamp?

It's actually a 2nd pattern eagle if you look closely. In the past a near identical badge to this has been mooted as genuine, even with the cut out areas. But there is NO solid evidence as yet that it is original. Personally, even without seeing the reverse I'm very sceptical.

Of course you are right Ned...it was just a quick look.
It was that J2 badge that was supposed to have been passed to S&L after the Juncker factory got bombed out so they could make a copy of it for production.
Why they would need to produce a badge that was not to be issued from April '44 is anybodies guess.

By my reckoning you might find one original badge per hundred....At best.
