Pictures are really bad . I think it is trying to be a 1st to 2nd transitional pattern Juncker as seen in Garlasco's book page 146 . The hole could have been a double punch explaining the big out of round hole . The roundel does not look good and the breech has some malformation going on . Better pictures of the MM and clear front photos are needed to really determine if good or not but I like what I see . Hope other members chime in with there opinions .
Thank you Raz, Im seeing the seller today and will get better photos and post them asap!
With the new pictures it is hard to say good or bad badge . The catch has been replaced with tombak as you can see with new soldering and the MM does not look stamped to me . The front is just way soft ---oak leaves , gears , eagle face , legs . Let others with more experience make the final call on this one . I know I wasn't much help but hopefully others will be.
Hi Raz, thank you for your input, I've been trying to find ones similar on the forum for comparison and found these 2 to be very close:
Flakkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe by Juncker
Need help with possible Juncker Flakkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe
I have the badge with me if anyone needs better pics of any specific part.
Thanks for the thread link . Have you purchased the badge ? If you compare the gears , eagles legs , face , etc you will see why I have reservations on this badge plus the replaced catch . Hard to imagine that much wear in recessed areas . Lets wait for others to help clarify this one .
After reading through the first link you provided,
Flakkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe by Juncker
I believe the one you posted is an original J2.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
Really appreciate all the help everyone! I bought this one in a group of 11 other badges and a hitler jugend knife.
I will post them all with time so see what people think but Im trying to do my own research on them first
Thanks for jumping in Ralph as this one really had me on the fence .
