Greetings Friends,
I've come across this interesting example...Judging by the reverse hardware, I think it may be a good one, but I'm no expert on Luftwaffe Badges...Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated!
cheers, Glenn

seen lots of fakes of this badge but not with this setup so I think you may be right Glenn.
Hi Glenn,
looks like a reproduction to me.
A few reasons:
I have never seen a genuine buntmetal badge with a hook that has a baseplate as fitted to zinc badges.
Original badges had a silvered wreath and blackened eagle. The example you posted looks as though it has bnever been coloured/blackened.
The obverse looks to be slightly flattened in the area in front of where the stamp has been placed...That was some heavy hammer whack.
As far as I am aware there are only two accepted variants of this badge made by Juncker and this isn't one of them
Hope this helps
Doug
