Thanks-- The pictures took a long to to load for some reason.

I am not an expert on aviation badges but in my opinion, this is not a good
badge.

The badge is marked "Juncker" however the ribbon bow at the bottom of the
badge does not match any of the pictures of originals that I have in my files.
Here is a picture of an original hollow stamped Juncker and you can see the difference
in the style.

Hopefully Vince will see this and comment as I believe that he has
an original Juncker.

I agree with Greg, a fake which I haven't seen before with these markings. Shape of the crown is wrong for this maker, as is the reverse hardware. I would recommend getting the book by Carsten Baldes and really study it, there are several Juncker variants but they all have certain similarities.

Don't like the crown too. Need to be real careful with these badges. 100xs more fakes than originals

Robert Pandis book is also good and still available
